Rate Of Books The Castle of Llyr (The Chronicles of Prydain #3)

The third installment of The Chronicles of Prydain is a little too chaotic to follow. The story starts off without any large, connecting arc and then turns briefly into a bit of a mystery before quickly transforming into a hunt. And then there's the final confrontation with the villain and then it's over. Not to say it's not an enjoyable read. Prince Rhun is a hoot and Gwydion comes off as usual as regal and heroic, but the plot, well, it just wasn't very strong in this one. It's not really

This third installment of The Chronicles of Prydain had its moments of humor and adventure, but I found the pacing to be a little off, and I wasnt as fond of the collection of companions who traveled with Taran on this journey. While my nine-year-old daughter and I both enjoyed finding out more about Eilonweys past, we were disappointed that she played such an insignificant role in her own story. Still, were looking forward to the next book; the overall arc of Tarans story continues to be

I wasn't too impressed by the first book in this series. I thought the series was going to be a bit boring but WOW did I miss the mark. I was approaching it all wrong and I know I'll have to reread it to see if I appreciate Alexander's work more. I think what confused me was that this series, like The Lord of the Rings, is meant to be approached as one large story, in other words, if you want to get past the superficialities, the important character developments happen as the series progresses

Eilonwy reluctantly returns home where she's to be taught how to be a proper lady and Taran and the crew serve as her guides. Things don't go according to plan however, as someone dangerous is waiting for them in Eilonwy's homeland. When Eilonwy is put under a deep spell, Taran and his companions set out on a dangerous quest to rescue her. Yet how can a lowly assistant pig-keeper hope to stand against the most evil enchantress in all of Prydain? This was my favorite book in the series so far.

I completely agree. I've always wanted someone to say it and here you have! Yes! It's a problem I had while reading it and immediately noticed it. I

When I was a kid, I was completely obsessed with fairy tales, fantasy, and sword-and-sorcery type adventures (Who am I kidding? I never stopped!). In many of the traditional tales Ive encountered at that time, princesses are either mere objects of a quest, something to be rescued and won by the prince, or - at the best - are on the fringes of all the action. One thing that I enjoyed about The Chronicles of Prydain is the fact that the Princess Eilonwy is such a strong character. She is smart and
