A review by littlebookthief
The Magician's Nephew / The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe / The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis

4.0

I think it was a well start of a new journey in a so called magical land, which is Narnia. Overall, I think this book was just the tip of the iceberg of what we are going to experience throughout this journey, as the characters were still very young and the conflict of the story was basically White Witch as the main enemy, introducing Aslan and the 'Deep Magic' and just a short battle that went like this : Edmund enticed by the Witch's appeal and went to her side, 'betraying' his siblings, but ended up being saved by Aslan's troops/followers (this was so sudden and short unlike in the movie by the way), then reconciled with his siblings, then the Witch came to Aslan and negotiated about Edmund's fate, then battle, and after roaring to the depths of the land, Aslan ended up killed, yes, but no in the same time, and then came to save the day.

I watched the movie before finishing the novel, and I have to say, they added A LOT more to the plot in the movies that in the book LMAO wouldn't have thought that, since usually it's the books having more details compared to the movie. But, I still enjoyed it. It's like a children's book, and it didn't cover many aspects of exploring Narnia in the whole.

Oh yeah, because of the movie, now Edmund is my favorite character, hands down. Now I know why he was one the the most loved, childhood crush type for a lot of people.
