The Story is great, the Kindle Edition, not so much.
By William P. Mchale
Unfortunately, Amazon's review process is too one dimensional. The novel told a good story in an interesting way and really allowed us to see the main character mature through the story. From that perspective, I would recommend this story unstintingly. Unfortunately, I wish there was a way to review the edition independently of the book. I have the Kindle edition. It was obviously scanned and converted... but never proof read. As a result, the title object is usually referred to in the text as the Cochran, not the cauldron. Needless to say it was very annoying even if I did get use to it after the first few pages.

The Battle for Prydain Continues, but the Real Story is the Growth of Taran, Eilonwy, and Their Companions
By MereChristian
The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander continues with the second book, The Black Cauldron. The reader learned of the titular cauldron in the first book when they heard of the device of black magic used by the god-like being Arawn in his rule of his own territories, and his quest to extend his iron fist over all of Prydain.
In this tale, the heroes are swept up in a quest to find and destroy the device, in order to stop Arawn from creating an endless stream of undead warriors with which to wage war and conquer. A rather ingenious plan is devised, and it should have worked, but unfortunately fell to pieces. In the end, it is once again up to Taran, the Assistant Pig-Keeper of Caer Dallben to save the day. In the thick of things with the young man are his steadfast companions, consisting of Princess Eilonwy, the King-turned-Bard Fflewddur Fflam, and their hairy companion of unknown species named Gurgi. They succeed, but the price is tragically high.
I have read that the books are more known for the personal coming-of-age stories and character growth than for the adventures, though the adventures are real page-turners. I have found this to be true. Though sometimes the companions in the series can be quite annoying, it is all in the pursuit of these stories of personal growth, so it is tolerable.
I will only bring up two areas of note from the book. They weren't really issues, so much as items that deserve comment, in my opinion. These involve the two most important protagonists, Taran and Eilonwy. First off, what is with Taran's Aesop amnesia here. Last book, he ended it by saying how desiring glory and excitement is not wise and doing your best at anything, even mundane things, is the best to do. For that matter, fighting and danger are not desirable, though sometimes necessary to prevent evil from winning. As this book begins, he seems to have forgotten these lessons, and is rearing to fight again, and dreaming of honor in battle. Let's hope he doesn't forget his lessons this time when the next book rolls around.
Eilonwy, Eilonwy, Eilonwy, what to say about her. Well, she is fascinating and hilarious, though a bit bratty at times. She is also, though, the first true example of a “tsundere” in fiction. I truly believe this. Forget the Japanese examples, and look to Princess Eilonwy for the a true original tsundere archetype. To note by way of explanation, the idea of a tsundere is a (traditionally Japanese) type of character, usually female but with more and more examples of males in recent years, who gravitates between kind and harsh to the object of their affection. As time goes on, they are less and less harsh and more and more kind. This can be towards the object of either romantic or friendly affection, and is the result, largely, of not knowing how to express or deal with their feelings.
I say she is a tsundere because she is kind of harsh, even when she isn't angry, and can't seem to settle on being nice or jerkish to Taran. Even when he isn't suffering from his terminal case of foot in mouth disease, she still is kinda rude sometimes. Two things make her likable though. First off, Taran's just-mentioned foot in mouth disease. If there is a way to accidentally insult Eilonwy, he finds it. Every. Single. Time. Secondly, she has grown from the somewhat likable brat of the first book to a truly likable character you really root for, in this book.
Of course, some good lessons are imparted as the book ends, but that is the charm of the series, as I said earlier in my mention of character growth. Alexander had this skill that could marvel C. S. Lewis or J. R. R. Tolkien in presenting morals and lessons in such a way that they actually worked within the story, and you just don't feel preached at. Of particular note, the idea that glory in battle is not to be desired is something Tolkien seemed to hit upon. I thoroughly enjoyed Cauldron, and am looking forward to the third book soon.

Action-packed adventure filled with profound wisdom
By stretch983
Lloyd Alexander definitely takes things to the next level in this second installment of the Prydain Chronicles. This time around the stakes are much higher, and the threat of evil has never been greater. Joined by a colorful cast of new characters, Taran and his companions are pushed to their limits in this emotional, action-packed adventure.
This book blew me away the first time I read it in sixth grade, and it continues to capture my imagination and my heart to this day. Not only is it entertaining, but it contains profound lessons of friendship, loyalty, sacrifice, and honor. Lloyd Alexander is an incredible storyteller, and this book is one of his very best.
