The Horse and His Boy

C.S. Lewis

3.7 AVERAGE


Πολύ καλό και το τρίτο βιβλίο της σειράς, το οποίο μπορεί να διαβαστεί και ανεξάρτητα από τα άλλα.
Ένα αγόρι που μεγαλώνει στο πουθενά (Καλορμίνα, μοιάζει πολύ με... μεσανατολική χώρα) δραπετεύει παρέα με ένα άλογο που... δεν είναι αυτό που φαίνεται...

 Okay, I really enjoyed this book, which was a surprise, because I didn't love the previous 2 books. The end was kind of abrupt. I don't know why Lewis feels the need to tie things up so neatly and quickly, but every book always feels like it could've been longer.

I wish all the chronicles were like this, i.e. following new characters while the Pevensie kids are in the background reigning. I feel like the purpose of the sequels should've been to show us more Narnia in its prime, and Lewis did not really give us that; but hey, it's not my book series.

My ranking of the series so far: Wardrobe > Caspian > Horse > Chair > Voyage
