Book Rec for Fans of MWT

I was reading a review of one of my favorite YA series, Westmark by Lloyd Alexander, when I saw a shout out to Queen's Thief fans. I thought it might pique some people's interest, and maybe you'd like to check out Westmark.

Read the review here.

And, if anyone else has read the Westmark trilogy before and is interested in discussion and squeeing, follow me on tumblr at florianschild.tumblr.com.

Prydain is indeed great, though I don't much care for Taran Wanderer. I might like it more now, but I've not read the series since high school.

It was somewhat confusing - and likely why I didn't like Kestrel as much, since Beggar Queen makes Theo's Kestrel phase seem super awesome, but it's just kinda blah in the book itself. Which I get why, but Theo is so terrifyingly awesome as Kestrel in Beggar Queen, giddy about killing a cannon, that I was hoping for more of that when I finally got to Kestrel.
