Princess Eilonwy hates to leave her friend Taran, Assistant Pig-Keeper, and her beloved home, Caer Dallben. Why does she have to go to the Isle of Mona to train as a proper lady when she's already a princess? But Eilonwy soon faces much more than the ordeal of becoming a dignified young maiden, for she possesses magical powers sought by the evil enchantress Queen Achren. When Eilonwy is put under a deep spell, Taran and his companions set out on a dangerous quest to rescue her. Yet how can a lowly Assistant Pig-Keeper hope to stand against the most evil enchantress in all of Prydain?

The castle of Llyr is probably as well done as the first book in the series, but does not quite compare to The Black Cauldron.Eilonwy leaves Caer Dallben to learn to be a lady, and Taran goes with her as an escort. This leads to adventures on the Isle of Mona, rather than continental Prydain which reveal more about Eilonwy's background and give Taran, Gurgi, and Fflewdur more opportunities for adventures.I may have liked this book more if it had more impact on the land of Prydain, since it sortAnother fine adventure of Taran & friends. Eilonwy is such a nice young lady, it seems a shame to spoil her with manners. It's tough on Taran, but Gurgy & the rest come along for a rousing adventure where they all learn more about themselves & life. Great fun even as an adult. Well narrated.
There are plenty of great moments here to make it worth a read, even if overall, this one isn't as great as the first two books. The band of heroes continues to be a fun team, but this story lost a bit of traction for having the princess sidelined for a lot of the book.

This was incredibly frustrating. The first two books in this series build Eilonwy up as strong-willed, independent, and intrinsically valuable. In this book, her will is overcome, she needs to be rescued by a bunch of men, and she's valuable because of her heritage.But the worst part is that her one, single act of independent power in this book is to break her power forever. In order to save herself and her friends, the only thing to be done is to destroy her heritage and surrender her future.
3.5 starsTropes are used because they work, and in The Castle of Llyr this is no exception.This is a typical children's high fantasy written with energy and spirit, and cast with typical but endearing characters. There's Taran, your noble hero from humble beginnings; Eilonwy, your feisty princess who doesn't want to be a lady; Rhun, your foppish but kind-hearted prince; and your typical Evil Villians Who Want To Take Over the World.This is a series, so this book is a smaller arc that fits into a
