![]() ![]() Taran is a little wiser than he was and there was more depth to the story. " I liked this one better than the first. His story really tucked at my heart-strings. The main characters (Taran and Eilonwy) are a bit more alive now, and we make some really interesting new acquaintances - three creepy sisters who guard the cauldron and a wannabe hero, Ellidyr. " My review for the first part of the series still pretty much stands, except this is a bit more nuanced of the two, so imagine an added half a star. I'm surprised the series hasn't been made into as many serials and plays and movies as the Narnia books, it's certainly as amusing and significantly less preachy. " Pleasant enough, but nothing terribly special. I would also recommend the Westmark Trilogy: Westmark, The Kestrel, and the Beggar Queen. Some of the others are more predictable and harder to enjoy. Worth reading as a series, especially for children. He put his heart and soul into this series, his sense of what it means to be human and what it means to be good. ![]() " of all I had read, I would recommend an autobiographical book Alexander wrote called "The Gawgon and the Boy" and the 5 books that comprise "The Chronicles of Prydain" (which includes the Black Cauldron) The last one, "The High King" received the Newberry Award. ![]() " I loved this entire series, and Black Cauldron was perhaps the creepiest of the bunch. " Way better than the movie! This is the best of fairytales and has to be read following the sequence.
