Prydain Chronicles

Great book, the narrator was also great, can’t wait to listen to the next one

The black Cauldron

Audio book review

This was a very interesting story. I really loved the magic, mystery, drama, adventure and dialogue. A pity Disney wasn’t more faithful to the books in the series. This is got me interested in reading the remaining three.

great narrator and excellent story, of course!

been meaning to give this series a listen for a bit minute... wonderful! didn't disappoint at all!

Great Book

My only complaint is the voice actors depiction of Morgant. He sounds like a snake, which cheapens his betrayal by foreshadowing it in a way the author never intended and robbing him of honor earned prior to it.

One of my favorite books of the series.

Little does Karen know that he will be meeting those three hags again, nor does he know how important they will be to him in the future. this book is full of suspense companionship trials and tribulations and so much more. I love this series & wish they would make it these into a movie.

Outstanding storytelling!

Timeless classic of that sets the standard for much of the contemporary high fantasy literature and programs we see today. A must read for children, YA and adults.

Excellent coming of age story for boys

An epic fantasy that follows the struggles of a boy on the brink of manhood and his discovery of the cost of honor.

Loved it

An incredible story that’s full of magic and mystery, an amazing plot and bittersweet ending.

Much Better than the Disney Movie

The Prydain Chronicles was one of my favorite fantasy series as a child. I decided to listen to it again largely out of nostalgia. The story incorporates many old Welsh myths to weave an exciting fantasy world that centers on a boy who dreams of accomplishing big deeds but learns both humanity and courage.

This book might be a bit scary for very young children but most ages 7 and up will enjoy the magic and adventure. Of all five books in the series, this one is probably the most disturbing for younger children.

My only complaint is that after buying book 1, I discovered that there was an option to buy book 1 and book 2 in the series together as one book, so it ended up costing me an extra credit to get the entire series.

Better than Book 1

A darker story than book 1, with fantastic character development and a serious look at the shades of good and evil.
