If you loved the sense of purpose and high-stakes adventure in The High King, you'll find Bilbo's journey to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and confront the dragon Smaug in The Hobbit just as thrilling. The clear, driving objective unites a fellowship of characters and brings the story to a satisfying, heroic conclusion.
Much like Taran's companions in The High King, Sabriel features a memorable ensemble—from the steadfast Mogget to the mysterious Touchstone—each bringing unique strengths, quirks, and perspectives as they face peril together. Their teamwork and camaraderie echo the group dynamics you enjoyed.
If Taran's journey from uncertain youth to true leader gripped you, you'll be drawn to Alanna's transformation as she disguises herself to train as a knight, facing challenges and doubts on her path to maturity and self-acceptance in Alanna: The First Adventure.
If you were swept away by the epic battles, sweeping landscapes, and high stakes of Prydain, you'll love the Pevensie siblings' adventures in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, as they traverse Narnia, rally allies, and face the White Witch in a story rich with grandeur and scope.
If the mythic atmosphere and legendary echoes of The High King resonated with you, you'll find the same sense of ancient magic and folklore in The Book of Three. Drawing on Welsh mythology, the story weaves enchantment and tradition into every corner of its world.
