This is a great one! I think it’s pretty equal with Voyage of the Dawn Treader, but the characters were less familiar so it lacked all that character building and development that made the last one so good. That being said, I like the Eustace and Jill duo more than the Pevensies. They are less perfect and their mannerisms more realistic which makes them more fun to read. It was nice to see the return of some previous characters like Caspian and Trumpkin. I also liked the new characters and species that were introduced, especially Puddleglum, who was a great mixture of guardian and comic relief. I finished this one in almost one sitting, listening to the audiobook while doing a puzzle.

Do not remember a single thing from this book, again was literally reading it to finish the series
As always, C.S. Lewis delivered a fantastic children's story replete with metaphors. "The Silver Chair" has a new twist, however. In this book, Lewis introduces a subterranean world beneath Narnia ruled by a conniving witch. I quite enjoyed this section of the book and found great similarities between it and the now-stereotypical subterranean worlds of Middle Earth, Golarion, and the Forgotten Realms.
There is very little else I can offer in this review other than to praise Lewis' writing and compare it to his other works. "The Silver Chair" isn't as strong as "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe" or even "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader." That said, it is still a remarkable book that my son and I enjoyed from beginning to end. My son is engrossed enough in these tales to request that we begin the next book in the series within seconds of finishing one.

It's very "meh" for me
The shame of the Narnian collection; nothing to me was good about this novel. Perhaps I'll try it again later, but I have so many other novels to read....
The first book in the chronicles of Narnia that I've read without seeing it's movie first. Of course at this moment there is no silver chair movie, though I've heard there might be one in the future.
As always this was a fun, imaginitive and adventurous book to read and I recommend it to everyone who enjoys fantasy books.

La 6 historia de Narnia y la saga se mantiene en su línea. Esta nueva entrega nos presenta nuevos personajes:
Jill, un chica insegura a la que acosan en el colegio pero gracias al viaje a Narnia aprende sobre la fuerza que hay en su interior
Rilian es el príncipe y posteriormente rey de Narnia e hijo de Caspian x. No podemos conoces mucho a este personaje ya que sale solo en las 70 ultimas paginas.
El meneo de la marisma, llamada Charcosombrio una nueva especie que me ha parecido muy agradable e inteligente.
Tambien aparece Plumabrillante y la bruja malvada llamada la Dama de la Saya verde, pero no destacan mucho sobretodo la bruja que acaban con ella facil aunque es bastante tediosa.
Y también nos reencontramos con algunos personajes que ya se les tenia cariño : Eustace, Aslan y Capian, aunque un pco envejecido.
Voy a empezar por el final, y es que me da mucha pena que Caspian muera sobretodo despues de todo lo que le ocurre en otros libros y justo cuando su hijo ha regresado.
En cuanto al viaje al norte donde habitan los gigantes y hacia el mundo subterraneo me ha gustado pues creo que ya no quedan mas lugares que investigar en este mundo. En el primer libro nos recorrimos todo narnia, en el caballo y el muchacho Calormen, el desierto y Archenland, en la travesia del viajero del alba, todas las islas y el mar hasta el fin del mundo y ahora en este libro todo el norte y el mindo subterraneo.
