The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis

adrian_1987's review against another edition

3.0

Creo que tiene las 3 estrellas bien merecidas. Nada que ver con los libros anteriores. Si EL CABALLO Y EL MUCHACHO fue innecesario, este es aún más. No alcancé a entender el propósito porque no se le da un desarrollo a ninguno de los personajes. Si acaso, la trama del libro ayuda a que Eustace y Jill se lleven mejor, pero hasta ahí; pero si Aslan los llevó a Narnia, entiendo que fue con un propósito como en los libros anteriores.

Spoiler

Me dolió que la esposa de Caspian muera porque se me hizo un gesto muy lindo que en el libro anterior ella le dijera que a su regreso del viaje en barco, ambos se casarían y reinarían juntos en Narnia.

Hasta antes de este libro no quería que se acabara la saga pero sinceramente estoy teniendo un bloqueo lector muy fuerte y ya quiero leer algo distinto.

4.0

Not as engaging as the other books with the Pevensies. But Eustace and Jill were good characters and had a good adventure in the name of Aslan.

I liked the quest of having to find Prince Rillian (lost son of King Caspian, the Caspian we know).

3.0

For a while, this was my favorite of the Narnia books, but it has not aged well for me. Putting aside (or trying rather desperately to put aside) Lewis' religious views, the plot of The Silver Chair ends up being rather disappointing. I love the underground city and Rilian's enchantment, and I adore Puddleglum, but Eustace and Jill don't really do anything. One wonders why they're even there.

Still: Puddleglum rocks.

(Side note: This is NOT book six. It is book four. Stop re-ordering these books, my childhood has been messed with enough!)
