My parents bought me the Prydain book series as a bundle, at my insistence, from the Scholastic Book Fair. I was in eighth grade and riding high after a long-awaited family trip to Disneyland. I was also fairly convinced that I wanted to become an animator and had read about Disney's The Black Cauldron (1985) in Bob Thomas's Art of Animation. Since the movie wasn't available on VHS, I figured reading the books upon which it was based was an acceptable alternative. Of course, I did not expectIn the second part of this series, the heroes we met in the first are back in action, taking on with the help of a few more warriors a very difficult mission, particularly crucial for the outcome of the fight against evil. As part of this mission, they are confronting great dangers but also themselves and are connected even more through all these difficulties. In the end, however, they find that evil can have many more forms, as well as good, which makes things much more complicated. These
One of the best books in this series, as our heroes join the mission to steal the magic cauldron the the Dark King uses to create his zombie soldiers. They find the Cauldron, get separated from the main army and have to deal with witches, a treacherous swamp and the forces of evil.Great fantasy adventure novel, full of strong characters and a clever sense of humor.
A slight retread of book 1, but with a sharper driving quest, higher stakes, and bigger character moments for almost everyone. Except for the looming shadow of the big bad villain, the smaller villains are far more nuanced and morally interesting.There are more of the lovely thoughtful moments that I prize, where people have to consider the price of heroism and reflect on what makes for a good life. Looking forward to the next book.
In 4th grade all I wanted to be was Princess Eilonwy from The Black Cauldron.
Oh yes, after a long time away I am back again reading and listening (Audible) to Black Cauldron.So finished again, must admit that I've forgotten parts of it, but all the better to enjoy again.Just finished The Black Calderon wonderful balance of themes. Faith, friendship, courage, self worth and the balance of good and evil. Above all I think the lessons of discernment are done will.
Second one down. These are really quick reads, but rewarding all the same. The Black Cauldron definitely kicks the series up a notch, with darker themes, beautiful prose but with the same quirky humor. I was completely expecting it to end the way the Disney movie did and was caught off guard. I think I like this ending better. Going to keep going with book 3!
