A review by vhenderson93
The High King by Lloyd Alexander
5.0
If I could only chose one series to read during this Corona Virus freak-out, it would totally be The Chronicles of Prydain. From start to finish, this series was packed with heart-racing action and battles, witty humor that made me smile, characters that I deeply cared for, and lessons to learn and live by.
This book in particular was fantastic. A lot of sacrifices, not only in death, were made and many of them tugged at my heart strings. I do wish that Arawn had had a slightly bigger part toward the end. Or at least a bit more dialogue. To be honest, I've been waiting since book 1 for he and Taran to meet and go head to head. Speaking of endings....LOVED IT! That last paragraph!! I was so sad to see it end.
I have truly enjoyed entering the world of Prydain and watching the characters mature and grow over the years. It's been a real treat. You need to read this series. Period.
P.S- in my review of book 3 I said that I wasn't sure what I thought of Rhun. Now I can honestly say that he's one of my favorite semi-minor-secondary characters.
