The Mabinogion Tetralogy
The Mabinogion Tetralogy | Evangeline Walton
4 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
In The Prince of Annwn the seeds of future tragedy are planted. Young Prince Pwyll meets Arawn, the God of Death, and survives the encounter with a heavy charge: to take on Arawn's guise and kill for him the one man even Death could not fell. The Children of Llyr chronicles the great family of Bran the Blessed, and their epic struggle for the throne. In The Song of Rhiannon, the struggle continues with Manawyddan and his son Pryderi, the rightful heir to the throne, against the force of an ancient curse. In The Island of the Mighty, the throne of the kingdom of Gwynedd is in peril when Gwydion, the headstrong heir, dares to provoke the legendary wrath of Lord Pryderi.

Branwen is the name of my favorite character from Welsh mythology, specifically from The Mabinogion stories! 💙 Plus, it looks and sounds beautiful, right?

ravenlee Have you read Kelley Armstrong‘s Cainsville books? The mythology underlying them might appeal to you if you haven‘t. 2y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks It absolutely does!! 2y
Branwen @ravenlee *gasps* NO! I have NOT read them! But I am adding them to my tbr list immediately! 😂 Thank you! 💙 📚 2y
ravenlee 😁 there‘s a triangle of the incarnations of Gwynn, Arawn, and Malt-y-Nos at the heart of the series, though they‘re very much their own people trying to live their lives within/despite the mythological pattern. 2y
Branwen @ravenlee That sounds incredible! 😱 2y

? Branwen is my favorite Welsh mythological figure in The Mabinogion. Translated, her name means White Raven ?

? Librarian! ???

? Reading, walking in the park, and writing on low anxiety days

? Lots of fantasy, Neil Gaiman, and Stephen King

? "Every day might not be a good day, but there is good in every day."

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love the quote!! 💛💛 4y

Considered one of the remarkable achievements of twentieth century fantasy literature, ranking with Tolkien's Lord of the Rings and T. H. White's The Once and Future King. The 12 branches of the original legends are reworked in this compelling collection. #fantasy #readingwomenmonth #borrowedfromhusbandsshelf #femaleauthor
