Book discussion, Lloyd Alexander

In case you don't know, [livejournal.com profile] mrissa is starting a discussion of each of the three books of the Westmark trilogy (Westmark, The Kestrel, and The Beggar Queen, all by Lloyd Alexander).

We're reading the first one by March 9, the second by April 9, and the third by May 9. See here for details.

Now I need to acquire those books...

i, kenllama, do solemnly swear to give it another shot, 20-some years later, and to start with the first book this time as per netmouse's suggestion. actually, i'd never realized until this post that BQ was the third book. huh.

(you know, i still want more Prydain... I was very disappointed to find that it really bears very little resemblance to Welsh mythology, mostly because reading the Mabinogion never satisfied my craving for more Prydain!)

If you don't end up finishing Westmark, discussion of why not would also be welcome. I'm Just Sayin'.
