This book I found to be a little unapproachable only due to the Welsh names. Try as I might, I kept having to flip back to the pronunciation guides. Getting past that, this has become one of my favorite fantasy books. It de-centers violence and instead shows the hero using his wits and tenacity and skill to accomplish his tasks. I really like how Morris also subverted the "Chosen One" trope by having his memory wiped and found himself doing things without having any notion of why. It reminds me a lot of the same spirit I find in the Kalevala.
The long lost "sequel" to Fates is a classic. What a great writer, thanks Ursula for keeping him alive!
