Title : The Horse and His Boy
Series : Narnia
Author : CS Lewis
Recommended by : none
Reading with : none
First Impression : 🤷🏻♀️
Format : audio - library
-----End
Finish Date : 2-7-24
Overall : ★★★★☆
Writing : ★★★★☆
Narration : ★★★★☆
Pacing : ★★★☆☆ - I'm noticing the battles in Narnia books are very quick and in the last few minutes of the book. It's not necessarily bad, but I don't care for it, I'd like a bit more detail.
Plot : ★★★★☆ - a runaway story of a slave/lost prince from desert into greener countries.
World/Setting : ★★★★☆ - the change from the desert into greener places is very fun and hits close to home for me.
Time Period : Narnia time, feels medieval to Renaissance
Location : World of Narnia and southern counties
Focus : story
Imagery : ★★★☆☆ - fair enough for a simple, short children's book.
Characters : Shasta/Cor... Definitely a character I could really relate too. Raised in a desert, a harsh hard place to grow up with evil all around you, a 'father' who doesn't want you. Leaving your homeland behind to discover what trees are and to feel grass beneath your feet.
Aravis... Why does it seem like the majority of female characters in Narnia are all so snotty?? Also pretty fucked up of Aslan to "teach her a lesson" by slashing her back like that...
Bree... His rolling though 😭💜 do not let anyone take your rolling away from you!!
Hwin... Reminded me of Fluttershy.
Very cool seeing Susan and Edwin as grown ups!
Relationships : I suspected Shasta/Cor would marry Aravis.
Feelings Felt : interest, happiness
Favorite Character(s) : Shasta for sure. His backstory and journey is something I could really relate with.
Most memorable moment : Shasta seeing all sorts of trees for the first time. I know the feeling very well.
Last Impression : Based off of the title, I was the least excited about this book of the series, but I'd have to say it's probably my favorite so far.
