Eustace and Jill leave a lot to be desired in this shrinking in quality entry in the Narnia series. The adventures have always been about preparing kids for growing up in our world but the lesson in this edition feels extremely dictated from Lewis instead of built more into the character arcs and world of Narnia. I find this one skipable.

I have lukewarm feelings about this book, partially because I wasn't paying as much attention as I should've been while listening to the audiobook. There were parts where I zoned out. I liked the story though, even if Eustace and Jill were not my favourite protagonists. It was great to see another part of the world. I wish we'd gotten to explore it deeper.

Not much else to say for now. I think I need to reread this book. Though I'm not sure if that'll happen since I'm reading the last book and it's pissing me off. I'll update the review if I do reread it.

This story was completely new to me. Lewis is so creative at how he paints God as Aslan. Aslan is the perfect depiction of how I picture God. I always get so emotional at how Aslan is described and how he interacts with the characters. This story had more obvious ties to Christianity than the previous story did, and I enjoy Lewis’ creativity in how he ties that into the story.

Another great book from C.S.Lewis..I know I'm a bit too old for them but I love them..they're simple and have happy endings.but this time I really missed the Pevensies.I felt disappointed when the story became predictive.But,I'm happy that I finished reading it. one more to go..I thought the book was a bit more fun with Peter,Susan,Edmund and Lucy..and Reepicheep,and the young Caspian,Mr.Tumnus.I really miss them.As the series comes to an end the author is not focusing much on the mysterious creatures of Narnia.He is doing more traveling stuff.Jill and Eustace are not bad either but I'm not a big fan.The story went too fast and the they killed the witch just like that and rescued the prince..it seemed kinda boring because they went through all these places just to find the Prince and the author also says that many people went searching for him before the kids..and how could this happen that kids found him just like that?That is where my most favorite character comes in,Aslan..I love him more than any other character in any of the movies or books.The ending was pretty nice..with Caspian X turning into a young man again (mhm..) and Aslan sending them back to their school.
Now time for some fun,

Miss the Pevensies..so much!
