Definitely some problematic themes in here. I enjoyed it, even in its darkness and intensity at times. A lot to think about as I muse in the ending…

I appreciate the themes of this last book and I really respect what C.S. Lewis did with the series but this series started out string and ended with a whimper. I really really hated the ending. It felt so unnecessary. They could have gone to the true Narnia without all THAT but okay. I’ll just stick to rereading the first two books in the series.
