This manages to be better than the second book, but not up to par with the first.
This… did not keep my interest to be honest. I don’t think I could tell you what even happened. It just felt like a lot of nothing that wasn’t really something. And it didn’t feel very Narnia-esque. So not really my fave…
Started during the days of war, finished in the fear of it starting again.
I had other books in mind to read this month, but I didn't want them to be marked with the memories of these crappy days. So I decided to finish this series.
And I will forever be grateful to them for keeping me company during this time.

Bij derde lezing
Lucy en Edmund keren via een schilderij terug naar Narnia, samen met hun onsympathieke neef Eustace. Ze ontmoeten Koning Caspian op zijn zeereis naar het einde van de wereld en beleven allemaal avonturen met hem. Spannend en sprookjesachtig geschreven avonturenverhaal (wat als de wereld echt plat was...?). De zeur Eustace is echt een vondst.
Bij vierde lezing
The Voyage of The Dawn Treader is meer een lekker avontuur en minder een allegorische verhandeling dan de twee voorgaande delen en daarom zoveel leuker om te lezen. De irritante Eustace is een verademing naast de brave Lucy en Edmund, de eilanden zitten vol prachtige vondsten en het idee van een echt platte wereld is onweerstaanbaar. Lewis beschrijft liefdevol de rand van de wereld en 'Aslan's Country', iets wat hij in The Last Battle weer en met nog grotere overgave zou doen.

'[b:Prince Caspian|121749|Prince Caspian (Chronicles of Narnia, #2)|C.S. Lewis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1308814880l/121749._SY75_.jpg|3348636]' was a fine sequel, but 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader' is the undisputed highlight of the series. Because it records a journey it has a more episodic character, and it's simply filled with magical islands, with Lewis being at his most evocative in his descriptions of the edge of the world. But his best find is the insufferable smart ass Eustace, who even tells part of the story himself, in his own nagging way. The only stains on the book are Lewis describing a girl with freckles as someone to pity (Chapter 2) and his conservative and narrrow-mindedly disapproving view on Eustace's modern parents on page 1: "They were very up-to-date and advanced people. They were vegetarians, non-smokers and teetotallers, and wore a special kind of underclothes", as if that were a crime.

Oh Reepicheep your character is enjoyable.
This seems the most different to the film yet I enjoyed the read.

A good story, I'm a bit lost on the overall plot because it's been so long since I read the first books and maybe I'll go back and reread all of them. Read it at work. I enjoy recognising the Christian metaphors, I'm glad I didn't read it when I was younger and wouldn't have understood.
