The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
5.0
I'm late posting this review, but that doesn't dampen how much I enjoyed this story.
I grew up watching Disney's, The Black Cauldron. It's one of those underrated, overlooked movies but I always loved it. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the movie is based off a 5 book series! I started it right away, eager to revisit a classic in a new way.
Comparing the movie to the book- I loved both of them in their own way. The plot is slightly different and there's a few new characters but overall, it's fantastic! Disney did a great job of sticking with the main character's attitudes and personalities. Gurgi! A teddy bear/child's version of Gollum, he is my favorite character, closely followed by Gwydion.
Everything about this book was wonderful. I was drawn to the characters' mission, their victories and failures. As I write this, I have the sequel, The Black Cauldron, sitting beside me.
