These books feel like mere chapters. They are full of fun characters and nice lines. Any fan of fantasy would love them.

Wow! What a powerful, quick fantasy book. I loved the growth in the main character, and the ending was the perfect combination of predictable and unexpected. I kind of knew how it had to end, but I didn't know for sure if it would.
This bore little resemblance to the Disney movie I remember watching as a child, (not that that's surprising), but I read it in a flash and I'm eager to continue the story.

Alexander’s ability to pack world building and characters into such a tight package amazing me. I love epic fantasy’s sprawl, but Alexander packs an incredible about of character and world into a slim volume. The book also feels like it moves a nonstop action.
These books feel like what I remember the Chronicles of Narnia to be. Narnia with the humor of the Phantom Tollbooth. Black Cauldron is also dark. It does not pull punches for its younger audience.

It has been a while since I read the first book and I was worried that it would be noticable but thankfully I was ok. There were some references that if I read them closer together I would remember but it wasn't really important to following the story.

While I enjoyed this more than The Book of Three, sometimes I feel like that fast paced writing takes me out of the story. Taran’s character development continues to improve, creating a very endearing main character.
