The High King by Lloyd Alexander
5.0
Ugh, the deaths in this book hit me so hard π poor Fflewddur for giving up his harp like that, and then when he tried to say he never cared for it anyways and it pops in the fire ππ stooop.
Oh my gosh! Taran taking Eilonwy in his arms and saying they will be wed! -girlish squeals- and her perfect reaction of "of course--I was wondering how long it'd take you to get around to asking me" π
I absolutely loved at the end with the three witches and the moral of the storying being that we create our own life and destiny, that we alone are the weavers of the fabric of our lives. I love it. And what a wonderful ending. I love that Taran and Eilonwy become high king and queen of mankind βΊοΈ
"Every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone."
"For the deeds of a man, not the words of a prophecy, are what shape his destiny."
"Though it does not glow as brightly as the love we may have shared, farewell, Taran of Caer Dallben, remember me"
