Thoughts: This is the first book in the The Chronicles of Prydain series and I must say that I am not really a fan of this book. The plot sounds intriguing enough but for some reason I found this book to be quite boring. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood for a middle grade book and that is why I thought it was to juvenile and boring. I may still give the rest of the books in the series a chance in the hopes that they get better.
