The Magician's Nephew by C.S. Lewis
4.0
*Firstly, a note on the reading order: I've a boxset of all of the Books. The order on the side of the box & inside the front & back pages of every Book-Written as the "reading order" is as follows:
1. The Magician's Nephew
2. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
3. The Horse and His Boy
4. Prince Caspian
5. The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader
6. The Silver Chair
7. The Last Battle
That's the order in which I read them when I was younger & that's the order I'm re-reading/Reading them in now. ππ½It also couldn't make more sense if it tried-Especially when you read the ending of this Book. ππ½
*Really enjoyed re-reading this Book-Reminded me of my youth, haha! π It's old school, stereotypical, English joviality & adventure at its best. π Reading it as an Adult {Allegedly!}, I can see even more clearly the religious {Christian} undertones & themes throughout-& as an Atheist Witch, I don't vibe with that in the slightest! π Or with the depiction of Witches as always being evil, obviously! π But this was first published in 1955-So, things were very different back then. ππ½ But I love the description, world building, easily likeable/Dislikable characters & naive fantasy of it all. I also like how it sets the scene for the next story {The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe} without giving too much away. π I'll be moving onto the next one straight away. π
