This is, I think, my all time favorite series from childhood. Great characters, engaging plot, exciting world building!! The only thing I find myself somewhat disappointed by while rereading them in adulthood is the lack of female characters. The few in the books are GREAT, don’t get me wrong, but I want more because I’m GREEDY!!! Genuinely, tho, if you need a quick and excellent fantasy series, this one is top tier.

Childhood. Loved it more than narnia for its magic and wonder that felt less fairytale and more fantasy.
I reread these five books this week. They’re written for 10-12 year olds so it’s easy reading. I loved them as a child (reading them as soon as each was published). My children loved them. And this Christmas season I sank back into this magical world and lived in Prydain again for a week, renewing some core qualities in my character that these books have formed.
I would have given this book 3.5 stars, but I don't know how to give half a star. In any case: fun, light-hearted read. The story is cute, enchanting even. I originally picked this up out of my love for Disney's The Black Cauldron, this being the source material. This set builds on what Disney used. If you're looking for a tale that is a traditional sort of fantasy jaunt without any scheming or grey areas, this is a good choice!
