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.

I remember starting the Westmark series some years back, but somehow never picked up any of the books after the first. Now that I think about it, I don't really remember much of what happened in the first book. Hm, perhaps this is a sign I should put the series back on my TBR list!

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.
