This trilogy was okay. I enjoyed it more than Griffin's Castle, another of Jenny Nimmo's books I recently read. It seemed better developed and more believable. Decent read, but not likely a re-read.

This was a good read, but it took a long time to get into.

I can understand why I didn't understand this series when I first read it in 6th grade. They're such odd little books, partly because they set in a small town in Wales, but mostly because the magic is unlike most magic found in books. It's all so vague. At times the vagueness is what gives the writing a weird beauty that takes you out of reality, but it can be frustrating because I feel like I don't really understand what happened.
In this book the freaky horse from the 1st book comes back, and this time it's center stage. The insane demon spirit inside has been released accidentally and took hold of Evan Llŷr, who is Gwyn's friend Nia's long-lost cousin. Evan is a troubled soldier who has come to stay with his family after being injured, and his arrival brings unrest in the Lloyd household.
This book was really weird. I feel exactly how I felt reading it now that im 18 as I did when I was 11. It's weird and I don't quite understand it. I didn't understand (or like) all the stuff about Evan being Nia's prince and I couldn't quite wrap my head around how Evan's backstory made it so that the demon would want to possess him.
Basically, I didn't like the main story, but I was interested in things that I actually understood which were happening around the main story.
I mostly enjoyed the setting and the strange magic.
