These are the books I finished this year. And I loved all of them. The Dark is Rising Sequence changed my life so that series is the top pick. Not picture is “Every Heart a Doorway”, “Down Among the Sticks and Bones” ,and “ Beneath the Sugar Sky”. Since I checked those out from work and don’t currently own them. #books #booksreadthisyear #thedarkisrising #allforthegame #chroniclesofprydain #vicious #goodomens #theweirdstoneofbrisingamen #calldownthehawk https://www.instagram.com/p/B6rtXepBQhIamxx5hHZb1gxqPr7leboKrERAGU0/?igshid=p0qlvu525m1e

Lloyd Alexander's The Chronicles of Prydain were some of my favourite books as a kid, but can anyone identify the cover artist on these? Looks like maybe Alan Lee, but no artist credit is given and it's been driving me nuts! #lloydalexander #chroniclesofprydain #theblackcauldron #welshmythology #childrensbooks #nostalgia #whostheartist

I know nothing about Ranger’s Apprentice but I really wanna follow you anyway, can I have an infodump?

oh hi! I didn’t think you’d actually see my tags lol. your post came up on my dash in the #chroniclesofprydain tag and I follow that, I was excited about another person in this tiny fandom haha. Thanks for giving the series a shoutout, and for the excuse to infodump about RA too!

It’s a loosely historical fiction series set in AU ancient Europe, mainly England Araluen. The first book introduces you to the main characters as orphans in the wardship of the local baron the night before Choosing Day, when they each get to apply to be apprenticed to a crafts-master. Will wants to go to battle-school to become a knight, but is rejected and chosen by the fief’s Ranger instead.

The Ranger Corp is kind of like the king’s secret service - they’re spies and trackers and peacekeepers, kind of a mysterious intelligence/investigation group, with a member placed in each fief. They wear camo cloaks and shoot scarily accurate with their longbows - think the DnD class basically. Commoners are usually scared to death of them, and Will only knows that his new master, Halt, is famous for his part in a war 15 years ago, and that he’s super intimidating. He’s in for quite the adventure when he starts his training.

The plots normally revolve around Will, Halt, and his friends trying to stop, or planning on how to help the kingdom survive an incoming war. There’s a lot of cool strategy and battle scenes, but the series really shines in its character dynamics. The mentor/apprentice relationships, the friendships that develop between unlikely pairs, the way they develop over the course of the series as you watch the kids grow up and the mentors grow somehow even cooler than before. Even if you have to squint past the mediocre worldbuilding, I’d say the series is 100% worth it for this.

I read them in middle school and loved them, but now I’m re-listening to them with my little brother, and seeing his reactions are so much fun. We were up until midnight last night finishing book 4, and he was bouncing up and down on the sofa, it was great. If you read them, I hope you enjoy them too!

Thanks again :)

I finally got around to finishing the first book in “The Chronicles of Prydain” series “The Book of Three” and enjoyed it immensely. Four more to read in the series and I can’t wait. Also Eilonwy is my favorite character she made me smile the whole time. #chroniclesofprydain https://www.instagram.com/p/B20aLn0hT04udBp_BD5mhKv05TDQgsBszvUdzI0/?igshid=1a3luzufqsjwf

Throwback to my favorite pivotal moment in the graphic novel. ❤️ Sigh, these two. My OTP since before that term was even invented.

Doodling some apocryphal artwork on a flight. Young #eilonwy and #achren six or seven years before the series begins. #prydain #prydainart #fanart #chroniclesofprydain

Playing more with a costume concept for Eilonwy if I get to The Black Cauldron. Which is NOT a promise that I will!! 😏 . #chroniclesofprydain #theblackcauldron #eilonwy #forgottendisneyprincess #gurgi #costume #sketch #prydain #lloydalexander

[highqueenofprydain]

More sketches. Costume concepts for Eilonwy circa Castle of Llyr, before and after her relocation to Dinas Rhydnant. What's a farm-living tomboy to do when obligated to take her place among the aristocracy? . #prydain #eilonwy #sketch #forgottendisneyprincess #chroniclesofprydain #castleofllyr #lloydalexander

Eilonwy is not impressed by the Disney version of herself. 😂😂 Inspired by a review and re-read of the crossover fic I wrote a couple years ago wherein the real E is transported into the world of the animated feature for a few (to her) horrifying minutes. Let's hope Disney doesn't give me any reasons for more of such satire on their next attempt. #disneyprincess #eilonwy #theblackcauldron #disney #disneyfails #prydain #chroniclesofprydain #prydainfilm #lloydalexander #forgottendisneyprincess
