cahn-The Winter Prince (Wein)? Yes! Thanks, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mistful! Totally lovely. Medraut is Just Awesome; was in love with him from approximately the first chapter). Lleu drove me nuts, but got better. And Lleu Llaw Gyffes is quoted! And dark family issues! And Morgause! Love, love, love. I was smart and also got out the two sequels. The second book was, enh, I didn't like it as much, except for the dreadful scene at the beginning-- which isn't even shown, just told-- where you realize that the happy ending of the first book doesn't mean that history is going to be rewritten (and it's the Welsh version-- Wein really knows her stuff! Yay happy me!!) -- I think for some reason I don't find Goewin a compelling narrator, and I was expecting more Medraut, and, well. The last book in the trilogy, The Sunbird, is again lovely, because the main character Telemakos is so very cute.
-All of you who told me I had to read The Beekeeper's Apprentice (King)? Yes! And thank you (I don't know if this was intentional) for not spoiling it at all so that I could have the shock of opening the first page and going, "...oh!" (Not that I shouldn't've guessed from the title and the subtitle, but what can I say? I'm thick, and have read too many substandard books lately.) I have more to say here (about romance, what else?), but I was not smart enough to get out the second book in the series, so I am currently trying to figure out how I can get it the most quickly :)
