This upcoming scene and Gurgi might be all I remember from the first book. Then it's a giant gap in my memory until the last book.

regulargonzalez posted:I kind of hate the message that nobility by right of blood is a more valuable thing than becoming a ruler due to having the skill for it. Wanting to know your parents and heritage is all well and good but there's definitely some outdated British monarchy-worship in there. I think Taran thinks so, but Smoit pretty clearly tells him to cut that poo poo out and reinforces that his offer to Taran stands regardless of the quests outcome. I think Taran is also conflating his desire to find his family and heritage with a desire to find that he is secretly a prince or whatever.

It would be funny if Taran just never, ever used it because he had a typical hoarding consumables syndrome.

I remember none of this book and I think as a kid it probably escaped me, but this is excellent .

Yesss. This was my favorite of the books as a kid. I'm excited to see how it holds up. (Probably quite well given the rest of the series, and Taran Wanderer is much much better than I used to think. )

Hemp Knight posted:I like how the battle is written as complete chaos, and Eilonwy finally gets to be in some fighting. Taran and all the others are fairly sexist/patronising to her (yes, I know it’s these are 60 year old books) In fairness, I don't think its written in a way that makes Taran look good for being so, or Eilonwy bad for fighting. If anything, she comes off as being correct in her choices and Taran as being sexist.
