Definitely my least favorite of the series - it just couldn’t keep my interest and I find the ending very odd.

I’ve enjoyed getting to experience this series for the first time with my siblings. It turns out we all enjoy the Chronicles of Narnia, and I’m sad that this is the second-last book in the series. The end is coming more quickly than I anticipated!
This wasn’t my favorite of the series. I’m not sure what it was that made it less of a favorite—maybe a hint of claustrophobia associated with the setting in this book, or perhaps the fact that it had a darker mood than some of the other stories, or maybe not the same amount of adventure…I don’t know.
As far as characters went, Puddleglum was definitely my favorite. Jill and Eustace, while enjoyable, felt somewhat flat to me, which was a disappointment. But Puddleglum? He was downright hilarious at times!
One thing I did enjoy about this story was the way it showed the effects of believing a lie—or allowing yourself to be blinded to the truth. I also appreciated the way Jill had to remember something through the story—and the reminder that it’s important to remember what God tells us, too. Though I didn’t get a lot of the allegorical side of the story, those two things were striking.
Overall, this was a fun adventure. I enjoyed being back in Narnia again, and though this was a bit darker of a tale compared to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe or The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, it was still worth reading. Recommended!
The dual levels of these books is so powerful! A great adventure, a great spiritual component. Again, Aslan's greatness is comforting and so powerfully touching. Plus, I'm just in love with Jill and Eustace.
