The Book of Three, by Lloyd Alexander

3.0

A fun read, though I didn't find it super gripping. I think I was holding onto The Black Cauldron a little too hard, as one of my favourite children's movies. I did love that it was very dark in places and didn't shy away from that, when I've read modern books that have tried to soften villains to the point where they're not scary. I think the Horned King would have been terrifying if I'd read this as a kid. There was nothing wrong with Book of Three per se, I just wasn't driven to keep picking it up like other books I've been reading lately. I will probably still try the rest of the series though.
