Probably my favorite of the 6 Narnian books I've read so far, although the frame device here is pretty much the worst in the series. In it Lewis seems to have branched out from religious commentary to social commentary and all I have to say is "Stay in your lane, dude." Lame, skippable first and last chapters aside, this is actually a good adventure. The secondary characters were each entertaining - I liked both Prince Rillian and Puddleglum. In fact, Puddleglum is probably my favorite character in the series... Eustace seems to revert to being kind insufferable after undergoing a positive transformation in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, however I am not sure that Lewis is aware that he is being insufferable and not just a regular teenage boy.
The places they traveled to were inventive and interesting and the characters mostly solved their own dilemmas instead of waiting for divine intervention. The obvious religious allegory was toned down, except for the final chapter and I wonder if its just a coincidence that the most agreeable of the books is also the least Aslan in it? JK, i don't wonder, its obviously why I enjoyed this one the most.
I should add that I did this as an audiobook and the reading by Jeremy Northam was excellent - one of the best in the series.

I LOVE Puddleglum! He's so funny! And I thought that the part close to the end was pretty interesting. (I can't say more without being afraid of spoiling something for someone)
surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. Lewis shows a slightly darker and creepy side to Narnia and introduces a lot of new lore and characters. It retains its childlike charm despite of this. Reminds me of the movie “return to Oz”
