If Prince Caspian is Hamlet in Narnia and The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the Odyssey in Narnia, let's call this one Gulliver in Narnia.
I remembered the (not so) "Gentle Giants" and the underground world. Fun, but somewhat repetitive. My 10 y.o. rated it 4 stars, so we'll go with that.

Definitely not as much of a standout as Voyage of the Dawn Treader, but I love me a respectibiggle marshwiggle

È stato un libro molto carino. Jill è la mia idola e il principe Rilian è tipo la mia crush ora
"Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things-trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that's a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia."

Oh well. I felt like the stakes in that one were much higher and the adventures riskier. I enjoyed that. I wasn't the biggest fan of Jill at first, and Puddleglum wasn't very enjoyable to read either. But the Marshwiggle seemed to get... almost cheery by the end. And Jill wasn't too bad either. Although I still don't really like her all that much.
I also didn't like the maaaany miscommunications and simply failed communications that were happening. I hate those. So avoidable. But in the end I kinda enjoyed the book.

This one was just as smooth to read as the others, but for some reason it didn’t really hit the same. Maybe it’s because the main 4 weren’t in it?? I’m not sure, but I was spoiled for the last book so I also probably wasn’t as enthusiastic for that reason too.

I appreciated the symbolism of the encounter with the witch at the end of the book.
It's mid. My least favorite of the series and I'm not sure it really adds much.
