Summary: Outside of Prydain, but still great
Comment: The Castle of Llyr mostly has events occuring on the island of Mona, not Prydain. This book has a different feel than the previous two. It deals with Eilonwy leaving Prydain to "act like a lady". Knowing her from the other books, she'd rather be doing what the guys are doing. Also Taran becomes aware of his feelings for her. Although they're usually arguing, I could see this sort of thing coming from a long way off. The main surprise is how someone(I'm not saying who)wants revenge and wants to exploit the unknown magical powers of Eilonwy to rule Prydain. The book, while simple like the others, gives great detail of how Mona is supposed to look like, and the actions of the heroes are easy to imagine. In this third book of the Prydain Chronicles, the main issues with Taran are jealousy and wanting what he seemingly can't have. If you read the first two Prydain books, this one won't be a disapointment.

Summary: You can't put it down!
Comment: Lloyd Alexander's done it again with the third choronicle of
Prydain, and in my opinion, the best yet.Eilonwy is a
princess of Llyr and must leave Caer Dallben to become a
lady. Achren, the evil queen realizes Eilonwy has magic
powers and wants to capture her. Taran, Flewddur, Gurgi, and
Prince Rhun set out to rescue her. Action packed, this is
definetly a must read for young and old.

Summary: Book 3 of the Prydian Chronicles
Comment: Eilonwy is coming of age and ready to accept her full powers but Archen has other ideas. Join Taran, Fflewdur Flam, Gurgi & others as they battle to save both Eilonwy & Prydain from the latest threats of evil.
This book, like the 2 preceeding volumes, is wonderfully written so that anyone of any age can enjoy it.
If you haven't read The Book of Three and The Black Cauldron don't read this. You will be missing so many adventures.
