The Song of Rhiannon

This book completes my reading of the Mythopoeic Award winners. It won in 1973. It's the third branch of the Mabinogion Tetralogy. It begins with a tale that is actually a part of the first branch in the original epic. Then it jumps ahead to the time shortly after The Children of Llyr. It's about the only survivors of the royal family of Dyved after the great war with Ireland and their interaction with the Fae. It's not as dark and intense as the second branch, but still, any dealing with the Fae does not a happy book make. I liked this book a lot even though the middle dragged a bit.
