mudder17 's review for:
The Horse and His Boy
by C.S. Lewis
3-3.5 stars
This was a pretty decent chapter in the series, but I have to admit that battles are just not for me. That said, I really enjoyed the ending and I liked Aslan's role (however short) in this story. I'm not sure I was that thrilled about the dark-skinned Calormen as (mostly) the bad guys. But I think the book was appropriate for the time and I like the resistance to the misogyny that occurred in this book, although the whole "proper lady" statement was kind of annoying. But again, that was the statement of an ignorant character, so I let that pass. This story didn't feel quite as cohesive as The Magician's Nephew or The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, but it was still a decent story. Looking forward to the next one.
