The Chronicles of Prydain, The Castle of Llyr

 The Castle of Llyr


The story continues the adventures of Taran "Assistant Pig-Keeper, primarily on the Isle of Mona west of Prydain, far from the
forces of Arawn, Lord of Death. Princess Eilonwy 2 faces the unavoidable (and in her view unnecessary) ordeal of becoming a
young lady", says Alexander. Taran joins her escort to a royal court where she will continue her education, near to her ancestral
home. Soon after arrival, she is kidnapped for the sorceress Achren. Taran and companions including Prince Rhun set out to
rescue her. Will they rescue her or will the evil sorceress Achren keep hold of her? You will have to read the book to find out!
In my opinion, this book fills some gaps in Princess Eilwonys character as we finally find out where her ancestral home and more
Out of 10, I would rate this book as a solid 8.

Percy Jackson and The Titans Curse 3-5

Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse is the sequel to the Sea of Monsters. Percy, Annabeth, Grover and Thalia all went to recruit more Demi-gods as they were short of them. Whilst at a Highschool they found two demi-gods one was called Nico di Angelo and his older sister Bianca. At the school, something terrible happened: Annabeth was kidnapped and also Artemis the Goddess of the Hunt went off to find the monster who had done this. I was very surprised when this happened and the whole book was very emotional which I thought was a nice touch by Rick Riodon. This book leads into Percy Jackson and the Battle of the Labyrinth. If you want to know what happened you will have to read it yourself. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Out of ten stars, I would give it a 9.

Whilst in France he saves a Princess maid called Christiana whom he falls in love with and 6 words " love can be a dangerous thing" David Gildman use of emotions is amazing the contrast is beautiful and the story feels so true due to this writing like when a person is severely enraged but the next minute they are calm.

In my opinion, this is prob
