More...overtly romantic than the first two volumes, "The Castle of Llyr" has the distinction of being the only book in the series where no one dies-at least no one whose name we know.
I would say that it also marks the tonal shift in the series, introducing both more comedy (in the person of the feckless Prince Rhun) and more philosophy. How accurate are first impressions? Is there always more to a person than what appears on the surface? Does fate decide our lives, or do we choose for ourselves? And, as always, what does it mean to be a hero?
Author: Lloyd Alexander
Potentially objectionable content: No one dies, but it's rather intense
