Unpopular opinion time: The horse and his boy is my favorite book in the Narnia series. I loved the focus on other characters other than Peter, Lucy, Edmond, and Susan. I loved the setting.

how did i forget about this book? perhaps the most underrated in the series, i really enjoyed this reading experience.
A nice Narnia story, albeit the representations of a fictionalised Middle East felt a bit iffy. The pace picked up at the end and it became much more enjoyable!

Summary: The fifth Chronicles of Narnia book to be published, this book tells the story of Shasta and Avaris’s travels on their talking horses and role they find themselves playing in a conflict between Archenland and Narnia and the opposing Calormenes.
Excellent story in the Narnian chronicles. I enjoyed this story more than the Magician's Nephew and nearly as much as The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. I especially enjoyed the humor in the story as well as the use of justice to the human foibles displayed by the various characters in the story.
A reread for probably the 20th time, though it had been quite a few years. There's no way for me to rate or review this book objectively, given how much influence it had on me since early childhood, but it was a good and constructive experience to revisit it as an adult. While this book has many flaws (the racial coding in particular is harmful), there were still moments to appreciate.
