Actual Rating: 4.5

I love the themes. The world itself is perfect and inventive. Also, the author message was based on good vs evil. It also gave had some Christian meaning. I love the story. Shasta is such an interesting character. I also found the talking horse interesting. I have to say that this book is not as strong as the first two books. I wish there could have been more to the story that what was given. I love it still! Overall, an amazing read about courage, fantasy, and beliefs.

I've read the Narnia books in the past, but I didn't remember this one. My daughter and I really loved it (can you get more awesome than talking horses?)
