eesh25 's review for:
The Horse and His Boy
by C.S. Lewis
So... this was racist. All the dark-skinned South Asian-esque people were selfish and greedy and awful, and seemed to have inferior food and names. They all sucked except for one girl, who I don't count just like I didn't count Shylock's daughter in The Merchant of Venice.
Apart from the racism, the book wasn't that interesting. I wasn't invested in the characters or their story. There were two things I liked. The first was going beyond Narnia, which we haven't gotten the chance to do, at least in the order that I'm reading the series in. The second thing I liked was seeing the Pevensies in the years they ruled Narnia. These are times even the kids barely remember, and I liked seeing what their lives were like then.
Overall, least favourite book in the series so far. I don't know how much relevance it holds to the series as a whole, but if it's not much (I'll get back to you about that), then I'd say skip it.
