Eddis, Attolia, Sounis

I read Westmark relatively soon after I read Prydain, also by Alexander, and quite liked it. I read Beggar Queen in the next few years, and didn't read Kestrel till a year or so after that. Kestrel is definitely my least favorite, and Beggar Queen my favorite - I'm a sucker for the richness of characters in the last book, and the romance. It does feel a bit like Les Mis lite, but very enjoyable for all that.
