The weakest of the series so far (from a child's viewpoint, at least; reading this through my 6-year old daughter's eyes/reactions), but the sturdiest plot-wise.
To expand, there is more grounded world-building and plot development, but told through what my daughter considered to be boring "nothing, just talking". She's not wrong.
Humour was lacking in this instalment; there's only so much fun my different voices can bring, and talking animals only get you so far (it is no longer the whimsical fancy it was in the predecessors).
A 3.5 would be a fair score, but going with Evie's assessment I've dropped to the 3.

Reading the books in chronological order, this one was next, but another one that I didn’t enjoy as much as some the previous. I really enjoy the stories that involve the four children and their adventures. This part of the Chronicles of Narnia was a little confusing, which is surprising because it’s a children’s story, but even as an adult following the unfamiliar names and characters that are made up and in a different world.
I’m not surprised that out of the entire series I would enjoy some of the stories more than others, as any series of books goes. Plus knowing they are aimed for a younger audience helps me get through them more than anything else.

Si no hubiese sido una historia tan impregnada de racismo y sexismo, la habría disfrutado. Es una pena, porque hace que desconecte por completo del autor, que antes ponía aclaraciones insertándose como narrador que me enternecían, pero ahora preferiría no escuchar nada suyo.
Me encantó la ubicación arabesca, ojalá no hubieran sido demonizados por un hombre blanco y religioso de los años 50. Tengo su contexto en cuenta, pero aún así me deja sin ganas de terminar la saga y con poco cariño por su mundo de fantasía.

More like why was the horse and his boy necessary?
C. S. Lewis tiene el toque que muchos escritores de libros juveniles quisieran, la capacidad de conectar todo sin dejar a un lado la sorpresa y el entusiasmo entrelazados con una trama completamente suave para el lector.
Este libro me fascinó, me envolvió en la ignorancia de Shasta, el conocimiento de Bree y el orgullo de Aravis que contra resta completamente con la humildad de Hwin.
Cada personaje, lugar y acción es necesaria para el final que termina generando ternura y satisfacción.
Una buena y ligera lectura.
