2.5/3⭐️
I don't know what to say about this book, it was just OK to read. The plot was somehow not very interesting, it has a very simple plot without much intrigue. The ending is predictable and there are a few moments where 'strange' things happen to the characters which made it a long read.
On the plus side, the characters are well written, you can see their shortcomings, which they learn from, and their development along with the plot.

In my personal opinion, this is the worst book of the series.

A good read and enlightening look into the greater world of Narnia. However, even rereading as an adult this is the slowest and least eventful book of the series I think. I like the added aspects into Aslan’s character but parts go by a bit slowly. Still enjoyable but my least favorite of the Narnia series
