This is the first Narnia book I listened to and while the narrator was excellent, some of the voices that were performed did annoy me more than it would have if I were reading it. I appreciate the effort though.

I have a bias towards the Pensives so this being the first book in the series to not have any of them (and the returning character being *Eustace*) made it a little weaker to me in general. Overall, generally enjoyable, but I'm not sure I'll come back to this one.

My fourth favorite title in the Chronicles of Narnia following 1. The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, 2. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, 3. Prince Caspian, and 4. The Silver Chair, 5. The Magician's Nephew, 6. The Last Battle and 7. The Horse and His Boy.

Not as tight as the other Narnia books, this one pulls it together around halfway through (the Autumn Feast). A little more of the rando-whimsy in this one, and I enjoyed a couple sassy snippets of social commentary towards the end (though they felt out of place).
