Book 148: Taran Wanderer

So! It's been a while since I've blogged at all and many of the books that I'm going to review over the next month or so I've read a while ago. I apologize in advance for the lack of quality for these earlier posts and hope that they become more reflective over the course of this adventure. Let's get to it!

Taran Wanderer has never been one of my favourite books in the Chronicles of Prydain. From reading some other reviews this books is about Taran trying to figure out his past, namely where he came from.  In this book, Taran and the regular crew travel around the kingdom, making friends and meeting old ones, and helping people along the way. As Taran attempts to find out his bloodline, he realizes that lineage is not what makes a person, but their actions, an important lesson in any coming of age story.

I rate this book a strong 7 our of 10. This book, like many others I have reviewed, is a middle book, my least favourite kind. Taran Wanderer is a set up for The High King and therefore has a lot of episodes that do not fit with the rest of the series jovial and playful attitude. That being said, it is still well worth the read.
