The Black Cauldron
by Lloyd Alexander
Better, a solid three stars.
I think the only problems I'm having with the books is how much they remind me of Lord of the Rings and how one-dimensional the characters and and the setting of the book are. I mean, I'd like a book or a story that has some good chapters of filler, ya know? But you really don't get that... you really don't get any filler at all. Everything just moves from point A to point B.
Also, the villains seemed to get killed off awfully fast. Like, one minute they show up and the next minute they're gone. :/ I know it's a kids book, but Voldemort and co lingered around a hell of a lot loner than everyone I've read that has been a threat in these books.
Still, I'm enjoying it. I'm hoping the next book is filler with undertones of plot changes.
