La silla de plata es el sexto libro en la saga Las Crónicas de Narnia, narra la historia de Eustace (¿recuerdan? El primo fastidioso) y Jill una compañera del colegio mixto. Ambos quieren escapar de aquel lugar, pues no se sienten cómodos allí, por eso Eustace le habla a Jill de un lugar maravilloso lleno de magia llamado Narnia y tan solo repetir varias veces el nombre de Aslan una puerta hacia aquel país se abre y empieza la aventura.
Eustace y Jill tienen una misión encontrar al príncipe perdido, el sucesor al trono de Narnia ya que su padre (el rey) es muy anciano y sí, estoy hablando del Rey Caspian, ya han pasado varios años desde la Travesía del Viajero del Alba donde éste fue hacia las Islas Solitarias junto con Lucy, Edmund y Eustace.

Definitely a different flavor of Narnia book, as this is the first one without the original cast. The tone is a bit...different but not bad at all. This one is less surreal than the previous novel, and in so many ways is a much more melancholy book despite the ending of Voyage of the Dawn Treader. All the same, it is quite beautiful. The Underland is a fascinating place, and it returns to form of sorts with a Witch villain as well, although very different than the White Witch was in the first book. It still has that lovely whimsy that is so crucial to Narnia, though. It's a lovely story and unique in that it begins in Aslan's Country, in which we're able to get an actual glimpse of it!
It is beautifully told, in my opinion, but a sadder story. Sad things happen but it's a good sad and for a book written and published in the 50's, it allows male characters to cry and express themselves healthily. I still think Dawn Trader is my favorite, if anything for the ending of the book, but the ending to this one is artful all on its own. This is a solid read, and the passages range from whimsical fun to cautious melancholy and overall are woven together sweetly.
It also introduces the rather incredible character of Puddleglum who is a welcome entry into the series though, as he says, we may most likely never see him again. That's one thing I happen to love, though, about these books. It's okay to move forward and it is okay to accept the changing nature, and passage of, time. The return to the real world in this book was grand and I hope to see more of Jill Pole and Eustace, too. Jill was an intriguing character that is a good mixture of Eustace and Lucy but wholly herself too, throughout the course of the novel.
Overall it was a lovely book that also took me way too long to finish because of other books I needed to just power through. Ultimately, a great read and another excellent entry into the Narnia series. It continues, to me, also, the lovely narration of C.S. Lewis and his sometimes metafictional digresses and cheeky responses. I love the humor in these books and it's so glad that it wasn't lost in this one at all.

Kolejna świetna historia choć Julia była irytującą postacią. Podobało mi się najbardziej od momentu zejścia do podziemia.
Characters start slow but gain momentum as the story goes. Puddleglum and Samwise Gamgee would be good friends, both with a very subtle "fuck around and find out" aura about them.
These books hold such a wonderful place in my childhood.
This one had more humor than others, especially between Jill and Eustace so that was enjoyable! So sad Caspian arrived just to see his son and then die
