As much as I enjoy this book, I'll say the Pevensies have always been my favorite characters in The Chronicles of Narnia, so having a book centered solely on Eustace and Jill doesn't make me LOVE the book in the same way. I did really enjoy the introduction of Jill and it was nice to see Eustace post-Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Also wins points for Puddleglum.

The idea of this book is quite interesting, and the author really worked on the characters, because they are people that I don't usually see around me everyday. I think the reason I rated it four stars instead of five is really because of the voice. C.S.Lewis is British, and he wrote this book quite a long time ago, so the words and sentences he used are not as easily understood by some people. I myself find that okay, but I can never just try to read it at night before bed, because it would just kill me thinking that hard at the end of the day. The ending is just like most books, they solved the main conflict and they lived "happily ever after". Nothing special about it.
This is book 101 for 2023, finished at 10pm on 31/12/23!
The Narnia part may even be 5 stars but the stuff in our world leaves much to be desired...
Al principio esta un poco lento, pero según va avanzando se pone bueno.

With The Silver Chair, I continue my journey through the world of Narnia. The ups and downs also continue. As much as I liked the Dawn Treader for its narrative drive and its sense of adventure, this book feels more redundant and more stilted. I didn’t care much for the story, nor for its characters.
On to the last book in the series, The Last Battle. Which, considering how often CS Lewis uses biblical analogies, will probably have strong apocalyptic themes.
