This my first time listening to the unabridged audiobooks. Patrick Stewart is hands-down the best narrator of the bunch, especially his Aslan voice. I wish he would record the whole series!

Sin palabras

El ultimos de los tres libros que se convirtieron en pelicula y en el que aparecen lo Pevensie. Ahora ya solo me quedan dos libros para acabar la saga de Narnia. Generalmente me ha gustado pero no destaco nada ni para bien ni para mal.

Me hacia mucha ilusión leer la saga de Narnia, y ya está hecho. Me daba un poco de pena empezar el último libro porque no tenia ni idea que me iba encontrar y por ser el último. Al principio la historia no me gustaba mucho, el mono me parecía inaguantable y el asno un poco tontito por creerlo. No me gustaba nada la idea de que se hiciera pasar por Aslan. Pero la que ya no soportaba era que todos se lo creyeran, que se aliaran con los calormenos y se destruyeran entre ellos. Por lo menos el principe Tirian y el unicornio Perla me han caido bien. Después aparecen Jill y Eustace y todos empuezan a pelear. No destaca nada y ni siquiera me quedaba mucho con los nombres de algunos personajes. Pero el final de la saga me ha encantado si no fuera por un pequeño detalle. Me ha fascinado que hayan vuelto todos, que por fin apareciera Aslan y que se juntaran todos los personajes de los libros, no solo los humanos las criaturas y uqe se creara un nuevo Narnia. Pero lo que no entiendo es porque no aparece Susan. Porque demonios al autor le parecio buena idea olvidarse de Susan, ponerla como una niña pija que pensara que Narnia era un juego de niños y quedarse tan contento. Pero olvidandonos de ese detalle todo genial. Y el final final, cuando Aslan les dice que en su mundo están muertos porque hubo un accidente y se da a entender que su vida empezará realmente en ese mundo a partir de ese momento, no me lo esperba pero me ha parecido un gran final. Siempre echaré de menos esta saga y aunque no creo que vuelva a leerla porque se me queda un poco pequeña y no consigo llegar a las historias al 100% volveré a ver las películas una y otra vez porque siempre llevaré a Narnia en el corazón.

I cry every time

A little dry in the middle, but a beautiful ending.

There is very little I can say about the Chronicles of Narnia that people do not already know. At first glance it appears to be a story about a group of children that find their way to a magical world and they adventures that they go on while there. However that isn’t really what this story is about; like so many of Lewis’ works of fiction it is really about the story of sin, evil, a savior, and redemption. Each character in the story is a representation for someone else or some other trait in the larger story of humanity and creation. While the story is certainly written for a younger audience the writing is still of an exceptional quality. While I wouldn’t recommend these to just anyone, given their setting and more whimsical nature, I would recommend them to any children and anyone that enjoys more “lighthearted” fiction.

spoilers:
i thought the beginning was rough and a bit draggish, but after everyone was going to reveal puzzle to the narnians, it got crazy! the plot really thickened and it was amazing. Jill became normal, Shift made me so mad (which if youre the writer is a possitive: invoking such strong emotional responses in your readers)
and literally every character came back! including tumnus.
emeth was probably my favorite though. just his thought process and his propriety was really something. hes a great man. and the whole aslan/tash debate was awesome! the way aslan explained it eas clever and ingenius!
the ending though! in aslan's country it was just beautiful! a great picture of Heaven! its going to be just like that, only better because its real.
the only thing that bothered me was when reepicheep came back he didnt say one word to eustace, even though the book said they became like best friends. i think reepicheep should have at least greeted him, but he only said hi to the originals.
susan definately lost favor with cslewis. haah and she couldnt even come back and she forgot all about narnia. what an idiot. how could you forget that?
sucks to be her though, becuase when aslan tells them that theyre all dead (BAHAH i laughed outloud at this part it was just too funny) susan now had literally no family members. her sister and brothers are gone, as well as her parents and her cousin eustace. even the people she stayed with in the lion the witch and the wardrobe are dead. so eff you susan.
tash was pretty funny too. the way they described him was horrifying!
but man narnia was cool.
