Instead, I longed for a Narnia-esque series in which different aspects of Prydain could be explored. I was worried after The Black Cauldron that each book would just be a straightforward quest story reuniting all the same characters. Yet it's a far different beast from the previous two. The third book of The Chronicles of Prydain is my favourite thus far. Separate: The Story of Plessy v.In which Eilonwy is given a new opportunity, but all is built on sand.Taran Wander by Lloyd Alexander (Chronicles of Prydain #4).Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids by Mona Delahooke.The High King by Lloyd Alexander (Prydain #5).The High King by Lloyd Alexander ()Įnter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander ().The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander ().The audiobook is the same narrator that I have not really cared for in the previous two books, so again I suggest that you read this in kindle or paper (both the same price) and skip the audiobook. This is also would make a good read aloud for 8-12 year old boys (and many girls as well). While this is the most romantic of the series, it is mostly another quest book. Still in the end, both Taran and Rhun want to be the one to save Eilonwy. Meanwhile, Eilonwy is kidnapped and instead of being able to search for her, Taran is told to protect Rhun, who of course gets lost.Īs you might expect, Taran learns that Rhun is good in his own way, and Rhun grows a lot on his own. And Taran learns that Rhun’s father wants to marry him to Eilonwy. Prince Rhun is very nice, very honorable, but incapable of doing anything correctly. Once again there is another foil of about Taran’s age that helps Taran understand how to grow up in a different way. As Eilonwy prepares to leave Taran realizes that he does not want her to go. Taran is charged with accompanying Princess Eilonwy to her relatives so that she might learn how to be a princess (and not a scullery maid as she has been doing at Caer Dalben). The Castle of Llyr is the most romantically focused of the Pyrdain Chronicles. Purchase Links: Paperback, Kindle Edition Takeaway: Part of growing up is realizing the role of romantic love.
