This final branch of the Mabinogion was actually published first in 1936. It didn't do well and thus the others weren't published at all at that time. They were all finally published in the 70's with this one being reprinted first. Why they were printed at this time out of order I don't know, but reading it in the order I did made sense. This one was tough to get into because the heroes of The Song of Rhiannon are beaten by the main characters of this book. So it begins with you feeling like you're being manipulated. By the end of this one, I did like one of the main characters and kind of liked another. But getting from beginning to end was difficult mainly for this reason.
