C. S. Lewis managed to do a very creative fantasy adventure, with relatable characters. But that doesn't get the level of epicity that it potentially achieves as a result of hasty situations.
The story follows four young protagonists and how they become involved in a war (after escaping from one), which they conform to even having the opportunity to return home (the quick and conflict-free way in which they accept their situation seems unreal to me). Still, the characters are well written and lovable, not just the protagonists.
The plot is very well structured and the result is very convincing. But after the hardest moment in the book, everything is solved almost out of nowhere (the fall of the villain, the difficulties of the position of our heroes, the war itself).
That gives me to understand that the most important thing is the twist of the script that, is true that it serves its purpose. But does not seem so remarkable as to give it the power to resolve all conflicts.
In spite of everything (and even if it doesn't seem like it) I liked this book. It convinced me (although not at the level of the distant memory of the film). And I plan to read its sequels. I don't know if I'll ever read them all.

After Eric and I had discovered that we both own unread copies of The Chronicles of Narnia, we decided to do a little book club and read each of them.
I was gifted it as a singular book from Nanny and I’m thrilled that I’ll be able to count each individual book (7 total, yay!!) towards this year’s reading challenge, lol. And I’m sure she would also be very happy to know I’m finally reading it… 7 years later.
I like that I’m able to quickly read each of the books, however, I definitely struggled to make the adjustment to the elementary reading level.

All I can say is good luck to any children's author that is writing about children that get whisked away into a magical land and have the reader NOT think of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe...
...good luck.
...good luck.
