"Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia."
It's soooo not me looking in the closets for a way into Narnia because we don't have any wardrobes in my house...

This is a book I should read every year. It’s so heartwarming and inspiring.
I used to hate Edmund. Now I realize I am Edmund. (And I mean that at the same time as both a witty one-liner and a deep theological statement.)
I’m reading through The Chronicles of Narnia this December in a desperate attempt to increase my number of books read for 2023. (And also because I’m feeling Christmasy, whimsical, philosophical, and nostalgic all at the same time, and this series checks all of those boxes.) My goal is to eventually read through all of C.S. Lewis’ works, but I’m starting here. And I’m already having the time of my life.
These books are so easy to read, and so much fun to experience. Lewis’ writing pulls you into the story in such a rich way, yet the whole book reads like your dad telling you a bedtime story. It’s witty, epic, and sweet. And I can’t wait to read more.
I’ve was homeschooled all my life, so I’m well aware that these books (this one in particular) contain strong religious overtones. Being incredibly “religious” myself, I have no problem with this. In fact, it made the book that much more enjoyable because, being the theology nerd that I am, I realized this time that the parallels go deeper than I was aware of before. For me, that made this 1000x more fun to read. For those who aren’t religious/don’t want religious allegories in their books, it wasn’t overbearing (or in most cases, even noticeable enough) to affect your experience, I promise.
Great book, Charlie. 8/10 just because I’m feeling stingy today. Sorry not sorry. Better luck next time. I love you tho, my late brother. RIP✌
