The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander
3.0
Having to rate the series as a whole is troublesome. The first two books I would give five stars, the third four, and the others probably two. I struggled to finish the last two books. My favorite character, Eilonwy, got shoved aside after the second book so that Taran could get more character development, though he never really developed into an entertaining character.
Fllewdder Fflam was always entertaining, as were Gurgi, Llyan, Doli, and Kaw. Hell, even Glew was more interesting than Taran.
Extensive use of the dialog tag 'cried' was good for some laughs, especially when the character was most definitely meant to be whispering. I had fun reading these aloud in the tone of them being cried out.
Overall, worth a read. I would read the first two books again for sure. Not sure about the rest.
