3.7 AVERAGE


Shasta, a young boy living in Calormene, decides to run away from the man he has known as his father after he hears "dad" bargaining to sell him into slavery. He takes off for Narnia with the man's horse, which happens to be a talking horse. During his travels he is chased by a lion, encounters another runaway with a talking horse, and mistaken for a prince. But will he make it to Narnia?

A sweet but ultimately unmemorable Narnia book

The racist undertones really made it hard for me to enjoy this book. Which is a shame because I liked the characters. Especially the girl.

This book was so boring...had to restart it a couple times.

A pretty good story of Narnia.

A nice read, didn't hold me as well as its predecessors, but I enjoyed it as its own story, especially when speaking of the 3 of any book, let alone a series such as this...

The third book in the Narnia series (when The Magician’s Nephew is counted first). Shasta is a boy in Calormen, and he runs away when the man he thinks is his father decides to sell him into slavery. He escapes with Bree, a Narnian Talking Horse, Aravis, a girl escaping an unwanted marriage, and her Talking Horse Hwin.

Along the way, Shasta meets Edmund, Lucy, Susan, and Aslan, saves the kingdom of Archenland, and discovers that he is the King of Archenland’s long-lost son, Cor, and the twin brother of Prince Corin. Aravis goes to live with Cor and they marry as adults.

Focuses on the sin of Pride.
