It took me a while to read this book because I got distracted, but, it was quite lovely. Following the trend set so far the writing is very simple and the narrator's point of view a bit odd at times.
His writing of the battle is much like J. R. R. Tolkien where Bilbo gets knocked out and the battle is summarised to him afterwards. This is much preferable to reading a blow-by-blow.
I'm about to engage on a sidequest to read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, but I'll be back to finish this series soon.

While parts of this have not aged well, this was just a really great adventure story with lovable characters and a perfect balance of whimsical coziness and grim realism. Like Game of Thrones but for preteens.
Probably my least favorite of the series just because of the lack of the familiar. Lack of familiar places and faces. But as with all of them, I love the adventure and it just makes me happy.

A great adventure story and a bit of Bildungsroman for our young protagonists in their journey. For those who think Lewis is unfair to female characters, this book has two of the best in Aravis, willing to rebel against her family and culture rather than be married against her will; and Hwin, a Narnian horse who’s more insightful and faithful than her stallion counterpart Bree. Are the Calormenes examples of Orientalism? Sure, but you might as well read a good translation of the Thousand and One Nights and call it “Orientalist.” The Harper audiobook is well done. Note: if you’re reading these books for the first time, please ignore the bogus “chronological” order imposed by the publisher and read in publication order, where this is book 5. I promise, everything makes more sense that way.
