Definitely not my favorite of the series but good nonetheless
4.5 stars. I love getting to see the other lands in this world. One of my favorites. I love that we get to see a glimpse of the high kings and queens during their reign. This a colorful and fun read.
Would have been perfectly fine with not reading this, rather listening to this audio, out of the series. I understand it happens during the reign of the Pevensies, but just no. I was extremely bored and should have returned it early on Libby
I love returning to the Golden Age of Narnia and seeing this world expand even further, but I especially love seeing Edmund, Susan and Lucy again, even as background characters!
Of all the books in the series this one serves as my favorite for including the original kids from the wardrobe while also being a much more individual story compared to the other books.

I love that Lucy, Edmund Peter & Susan makes an appearance in this book.
A story about a taking horse and a boy who finds his identity.
Compared to other books it's not my favourite

Narnia is a cobbled-together setting of "whatever works for the current allegory," and yet, when it's given room to breathe, it works as a fictional world. This book is the proof of that; Shasta and Aravis, Bree and Hwin, are simply people who happen to live in this world, and they're an interesting group to follow.
Prince Rabadash is fascinating as well: the Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen of Narnia, a man who could have been good had he not been born into a world of moral monsters. (I mean the book version of Feyd-Rautha, of course, not the movie.)
Now, speaking of movies, what would it take to get _The Horse and his Boy_ filmed?

I enjoyed the reading of this Narnia book more than I think I ever have. I had dismissed this story as relatively irrelevant, but I see more what Lewis was trying to do with it this time around, (in the vein of Mercury) and it is a really provocative and powerful tale.
