The Horse and His Boy is a Children/Middle Grade Portal Fantasy novel, book 3 in the series.
All in all the series is turning serviceable for what I need. Besides the cringy content, the characters aren't bad and neither is the story. If you want to get through this series, try to plow through this one and get to Prince Caspian. So far, the series isn't that connected with each other except by certain key characters from previous books. Book 2 was connected by Digory and the wardrobe from book 1, and this book had Susan, Edmund, and Lucy from book 2. If I remember correctly, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy come back to Narnia in Prince Caspian, so I'm sure that will be that books connection, but I don't think I'll see Shasta, Bree, Aravis, and Hwin in later books, unless I get surprised by later books.
