Oh my heart. I teared up so many times as I saw God and Jesus in the pages of the first story of the Chronicles of Narnia. So many parallels that were taken from Genesis and put into ‘The Magician’s Nephew.’ I’ve recently gone back to my faith, even doing my first read through of the Bible, and I came across a clip that made me so teary eyed that I knew I had to give this series a genuine, honest read.
“But [in your world] I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there“
Not only have I felt so thankful to get to know Jesus in another world but as Aslan says it perfectly, by learning to know him in Narnia, I may know him better in the world I live in.
Christ is King.

Too long. Too many unnecessary complicated narration with difficult old phrases－my last two braincells couldn't cope up. It took me quite long to finally finished this book. Nevertheless, it's still interesting to learn Narnia's whole history.
Once again, more like 2½ stars for me.

A nice, nostalgic reread that made me realize just how much Uncle Andrew sucks.

I think my audiobook era is over, I seem to enjoy it sooooo much less than I used to and I can’t really keep my attention with the story anymore..
Nonetheless, I think this book was cute and I liked characters, but it’s short and rushed and kind of confusing to me. There wasn’t really a clear plot line, just characters doing random side quests and then **boom** there’s Narnia I guess😅
