The Castle of Llyr

The Castle of Llyr {LEER} is the third book in the Chronicles of Prydain series by Lloyd Alexander. It is about a boy named Taran and a princess named Eilonwy. Their companions are Prince Gwydion, Kaw, Fflewddur Fflam, Achren, Dallben, and Gurgi. In the book, Eilonwy gets taken away by Achren to Caer Colur and orders Magg to watch over her. Then Magg ties Eilonwy up and gags her. Achren's powers are taken away and she tries to kill herself because she wants to die. I like this book because it is so adventurous and the characters have a lot of magical powers. I would recommend this book to children who like fantasies.
