(See: http://heretherebebooks.net/2014/03/03/diana-wynne-jones-month-day-3-favorite-character-dwjmarch/) <br /><br />I also love all the princesses in Castle in the Air; that scene when they plan an attack on the bad genie is FANTASTIC. <br /><br />And yes! I wish we'd seen more of adult Millie doing things like she did when she was younger. I can't remember her at ALL in The Pinhoe Egg, and in Charmed Life she's just a nice marshmallow kind of person.<br /><br />-- Anastasia @ <a href="http://heretherebebooks.net" rel="nofollow">Here There Be Books</a>Anastasia @ Here There Be Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658910506808149668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-10504759995868878762014-03-03T16:06:34.177-08:002014-03-03T16:06:34.177-08:00I do love Millie.

I wish that we'd gotten to see more of Millie as an adult -- I feel like in adulthood she's rendered rather generic, and you don't see as much of her awesomeness as in Lives of Christopher Chant and Conrad's Fate.<br /><br />(I LOVE THAT SCENE in Conrad's Fate where Millie and Conrad are tearing apart Christopher's character, and then Conrad feels terribly guilty after because Christopher is so helpful to him.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
