The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis

katlib's review against another edition

4.0

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.

The third installment of The Chronicles of Narnia takes the reader on an unforgettable journey in which unlikely friendships are made and a surprising truth is revealed. A very enjoyable book!

Very charming. Some good humor. A light hearted adventure is exactly what is needed some times.

Honestly I was a little confused throughout this whole book. But a girl (Aravis) and a boy (Shasta) runaway with their horses (Whin and Bree) to Narnia and end up hearing about a war heading to Narnia and they need to warn them. 

SPOILERS!!!!!

Shasta is actually a secret prince. Corr
King and Queen of Arkenland???
