A great second entry in the Chronicles of Prydain! All the favorites are back, with some very compelling new characters as well. This book gets a little deeper into what it means to be a hero, without losing any of its sparkle and action.

I'm pleased with Taran's progress as a boy growing into manhood and I quite like the obvious "growing" scenes where he actually talks through his thought process with his friends - specifically Eilonwy - instead of just changing into a better person. He talks himself through a couple of these "character growth spurts" in this book and, if I were still a child, I could well imagine that reading those specific passages would help me with my own real life personal growth. That being said, I always learned my lessons better from text than through screwing up with my own life, but I'm apparently an odd case. :-)
