The Horse and His Boy

This a good book in the series and the audiobook was enjoyable. Although I feel like this is the weakest book of series so far. The characters were not my favourite and the plot was ok. Still excited to read the next one though!

#ahorseandhisboy from #cslewis #chroniclesofnarnia . I enjoyed this one more than the LWW, and didn’t remember the story from the first time I read these books. A lovely book about bravery, Home, and that everyone’s story is their own.

This edition was hand written & illustrated by my daughter Jessica (with help from Jude & Dahlia). So, yeah, it’s literally the best!

This was an interesting one because it took a long time to figure out how Shasta and Aravis were going to fit in the Narnian world that we already knew. Not quite as much sarcastic humor as the previous books, but perhaps more of an adventure. It was still a fun read.
