Complicated
This was significantly less enjoyable to me than The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe. The Christian allegory was very heavy handed and this felt unoriginal and uninteresting sometimes. It’s a nice little origin story about Narnia though, so it was fun to read after The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and see Easter eggs. I’m not sure if I want to binge the rest of the series like I had planned after reading this one.
