The Silver Chair

Lewis excels at storybook-style worldbuilding without verging too far into whimsy.  I like the underground section.

Context: My sister and I created something we call the Narnia Challenge. It is where you compete with a group or another person to see who can finish The Chronicles of Narnia the fastest. You can do it for a prize or bragging rights. (We personally are doing it for bragging rights.) But you read each novel and then you write a paragraph about the novel. I however had an extra challenge thrown into the pre-existing challenge… I had to write my paragraph about how much I either loved or missed having High King Peter in the book. (If you can’t tell I Love Peter.)Feel free to do the challenge if you would like with your friends or family. And if you do please share with me because I would love to talk about your experience with this challenge. Below are the paragraphs from The Narnia Challenge that I wrote I hope you enjoy.

Sixth book in Narnia the Silver Chair! I love this book. Although this is my first time reading it I have tried to read it many times. It was challenging when I originally tried to read it as I did miss the original kids. And Narnia just didn't feel like Narnia without them. But now that I'm older I realize the fact that they'll always be part of Narnia in the stories of High King Peter and the other Kings and Queens of Narnia. (Also P.S. I still do miss Peter in Narnia)!~

I enjoyed seeing what happened to Prince Caspian and his wife, it’s nice seeing Eustace again too. It’s funny hearing him be called scrub and him still being a little grumpy, puddleglum is funny too it’s much better than some of the others or maybe I’m getting Stockholm syndrome. The bible continues with a reference to Jesus and also heaven and walking with god/aslan

I think this has been my favorite of the Narnia series so far! Obviously I love the original but my imagination went wild with this one, and I really enjoyed Puddleglum
