nostalgia leans hard into this rating, but i’ve made it my goal to finish the chronicles of narnia this year! as a child, i always found it difficult to get past the magician’s nephew and would just end up rereading that story over and over again so that i could read the full series. taking a different path this time! (further motivated by the knowledge of greta’s future adaptations.)
beautiful allegories and descriptions that went over my head on my initial reads and i can now appreciate as an adult. i listened to the audiobook so that i could draw or walk simultaneously and the world became even more immersive! what a comfort aslan is! what a delight the beavers and mr. tumnus are!
*as much as i despise edmund, i try to see him as a reflection of myself, we are one and the same. additional notes on patriarchal remarks — trying to place this book in its historical context though. interesting to read while always deconstructing/reconstructing!
