I'm not even gonna..... it's still a religious allegory. You can tell from page 5 it's about the end of the world. Lewis was an asshole towards Susan. Aslan has favorites.

Finally finished this, after dragging it out for almost two months. I was pretty disappointed by this book. The sexism, racism, and religious themes that were more subtle in the previous stories were too blatant to ignore here. The treatment of Susan was shameful. Instead of feeling like a satisfying and sentimental conclusion to the series this book just felt like propaganda. I didn’t connect with any of the characters and felt very distant from the plot (of course, this could be because I could only manage to read it for ten minutes at a time). I’d rather just pretend the series ended at the third book. Time to go watch the movies so I don’t totally ruin my opinion of Narnia.
From an adult perspective, this is bizarrely preachy and sometimes just plain odd, but I thought it was moving as a child.

So while the other books were basically adventure stories with maybe some religion-y vibes (getting progressively more overtly religious), this book is more like a religion story with maybe some adventure plot in it…
The racist vibes also continue with the Calormese worshipping Tash who is, quite literally, ~the devil~. Which is…not super
I was also gonna say that this story only really worked because every Narnian is apparently an idiot™️. But then I was like, wait people being told to do bad shit cause someone said god told them to tell everyone to do that, is shit that ACTUALLY happens…sooo I guess I can’t actually make that a criticism even if it is real sad.
I did kinda like the..moral I guess you could say? In that it doesn’t actually matter who or what you believe in (even if it is tash…or noone), if you do good things that’s good enough for god, and if you do bad things it doesn’t matter if you pray to god every night you’re still going straight to Tash.
Although If you look at Puzzles, even if you are complicit in a lot of evil shit you can still go to heaven if you’re too stupid to get that you’re being manipulated….so yay? (This is good news for some of the worlds leaders rn I guess -.-)
Lewis really did Susan dirty tho
All in all I don’t think I can honestly say I liked this one, so I’m gonna give it two stars just for the one message that I kinda liked.
