The Silver Chair

C.S. Lewis

3.78 AVERAGE


This will always, always be one of my favorite Narnia books. Definitely right up there with The Horse and His Boy for me. Puddleglum is one of my favorite Narnia characters, and I love how mercilessly Lewis teases about Eustace's name. This is a great adventure and I never get tired of reading it.

Asian calls both Eustace and Jill to go to Narnia to find Prince Rilian. I enjoyed finding biblical insights as I read. The parts in the Underworld were very entertaining.

Preferred this to the last few plot and setting-wise. Don't remember there being so much misogyny in the previous installments though.
