Ainda melhor que o primeiro, traz um pouco mais de desenvolvimento ao protagonista, que finalmente começa a entender que o seus sonhos de heroísmo não podem ser realizados sem um custo.
Embora o desfecho seja previsível para quem já está acostumado com o gênero, é uma leitura divertida e muito agradável.
Again, very much a kids' book, so simple reading. In this sequel to The Book of Three, Our Heroes (led by the prince) decide to go and try to capture the Black Cauldron from Arawn in order to destroy it so he can no longer create the Cauldron-Born zombie armies that he's using to try and take over the world.
Of course, the various parties get separated and it's up to Taran, Elionwy, Gurgi, Fflewdur Fflam, in other words all our favourites from the first book to actually get the cauldron. During this adventure they meet the three Fates (aka 3 old women on the edge of a swamp with a magic loom), a jealous noble, various dwarves, and more.
Another fun adventure in Prydain, this time with higher stakes and a slightly more somber mood.
An old favorite.
