adventurous dark funny lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

4.0

 it's odd to say, especially up against the rest of the Disney canon, but "The Black Cauldron" was one of my favorite movies as a kid. therefore, you can imagine the nostalgic joy of finally picking up the source material. it reads exactly how I imagined it would and left me duly impressed by how the folks that worked on the movie reworked Alexander's story to fit their aims. i'm so curious as to how the next volume will match and stray from memory...
