"Indeed, the more we find to love, the more we add to the measure of our hearts."



A furiously fantastical adventure. Perfect for kids and adults alike. I would gladly reread this again. There's a reason this series has become a classic: it's just that good.



I've loved seeing Taran and Eilonwy's relationship develop. Their friendship comes together in a beautiful and realistic way. [a:Lloyd Alexander|8924|Lloyd Alexander|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1353430382p2/8924.jpg] doesn't rush to write them as star-crossed teen lovers. They are still kids who are slowly aging in the series. Since these characters have the most unlikely and unexpected friendship, their relationship is all the more endearing.



Speaking of development, Taran goes through a major glow up! In the previous book he acted like a brat sometimes but not as much as the movie adaptation insisted. This time around he is in fully-fledged hero mode!!!!!! I wasn't sure if I'd like Hero Taran but he's a gem. He's wonderfully flawed but committed to doing the right thing. Being a hero even makes him a better friend. Final thoughts: I still love Gurgi with all my heart and the world building of Prydain just keeps getting better and better!
