The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
4.0
Now, I am going to address the elephant in the room ... I have never watched The Black Cauldron nor had I heard of these books until around a week ago. There, I said it. Crap, poor childhood, I know - blame my parents! I was advised to read these by a friend on instagram as I was looking for a light read in-between all the heavy fantasy I was reading. I just wanted a bit of a break, this is exactly what this book did and I really enjoyed it.
This was such a fun read which I enjoyed from start to finish. I absolutely love Gurgi. I think other people find him annoying but I like annoying. He is hands down my favourite character in the book. I loved his plea for "crunching and munchings" all the time, that is definitely me! I wish I had read these as a child and now revisiting them as an adult but this is not the case. I want to follow these characters more and find out what they get up to next. I have already downloaded the next book and am eager to begin.
What was really noticeable in this book was the humour, I absolutely loved the humour it definitely had me laughing throughout and just generally made me love the characters and the story more.
I don't have much to say apart from I loved the writing style, I loved the world and the characters were excellent. This is such a light hearted fun read that I think all children and adults should read at some point in their lives. I will definitely be recommending it to my children.
