The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis
4.0

What an emotional and thought-provoking end to The Chronicles of Narnia! I really enjoyed it, but I have to admit it left me with a mix of feelings—it’s both sad and beautiful at the same time.

The story itself was gripping, full of unexpected twists, and packed with deeper meanings. I was blown away by how much it ties into Christian ideas of eternal life, faith, and truth. The ending especially caught me off guard—it was so unexpected yet made perfect sense when I thought about it. It’s one of those endings that stays with you long after you finish the book, and it made me reflect on life, death, and what lies beyond.

What amazed me the most were the signs and metaphors woven into the story. Aslan’s role was so powerful, and I loved how it showed that even in the darkest moments, there’s hope and a greater plan. The final scenes, where the characters move “further up and further in,” felt like an incredible representation of what heaven could be—a place more real, more beautiful, and more alive than we can imagine.

Although it was bittersweet to say goodbye to Narnia, I think this book was the perfect way to end the series. It’s not just a story—it’s a journey that leaves you thinking about faith, hope, and eternity. Truly a masterpiece, and one I’ll never forget.
