Začátek této knihy byl trochu slabší a trvalo mi se začíst, ale po cca 50 stranách jsem se začetla a užila si to stejně jako předchozí díly.

I don't know what to make of this book as I like and enjoy it around page 70 to 120. but that's about it. If I wasn't over halfway through this series and it was on 100 books scratch off the bucket list I wouldn't be reading it. overall it's just mleh, I don't love it but I don't hate either.
This one was always my favourite Narnia book growing up, and that is unchanged today!
Has everything I love about #2 and nothing that I moaned about in my #2 review (e.g. Shasta has to learn to ride, can't hold a sword, his untrained self is utterly useless in battle, etc. )
I love the journey/quest story and the constantly changing scenery/challenges. I love the addition of Aravis and Hwin, and how that changes the story. I love how the stakes of the story escalate. I love how Shasta and Aravis' characters have so clearly been shaped by their upbringings, in a way that feels true to life. I love Aravis full stop - Mulan vibes with a dash of fatalistic drama. And of course I lovea rags to riches story like Shasta's.
I always like that you get to explore Calormene culture in this one. In the other books they're mysterious barbarians, but here we learn about their poetry and storytelling skills and social structure, and that to them, the Narnians are the barbarians.
So many clever moments of allegory.Rabadash writing off the magic (miracle) of Narnia's long winter coming to an end as something that must be down to natural causes. Bree laughing at the idea that Aslan is really a flesh and blood lion.
Lastly, but mostly - Aslan'sconsistently recurring presence in this one. As Shasta puts it, he seems to be at the back of all the stories. His talk with Shasta on the pass between Archenland and Narnia is a highlight.
