It did have nice payoffs for the stuff in the previous books, like Fflewddur’s harp, Achren, and Prince Rhun. Gurgi is less annoying than I thought (I remembered him as being a Jar Jar Binks style character), while Eilonwy seems to be there mainly as a love interest for Taran/plot device (yes, I know it’s a 60 year old series, so her characterisation isn’t going to be up to modern standards) Yeah this has been great. I read these from the library as a kid and now I just remembered that they never had The High King. Welp, we're almost there!

TheGreatEvilKing posted:I also interpreted the "cannot kill" line less as Dallben not having the power to do so and more that Dallben being vehemently opposed to it. It's the contrast between the real power Dallben has vs Pryderi's shallow power based solely on violence. I figured it was just the usual rules-lawyering where Dallben's like "Yeah *I* can't kill you but if I set some fires and then die.... "
