Oh, this is truly such a charmingly magical fairy tale! There's just something about Narnia that is so beautiful, even if it seems to be quite a dangerous place with a lot of fighting and wars and killing. I think this charming feeling is mostly due to the book's gorgeous writing: No matter what is going on, this book makes it sound so pretty and mystical!
I think it also really helped my enjoyment that I listened to it on audio. Not only did the narrator have a really calming, soothing voice that felt like being wrapped in a warm blanket, it also gave me all the nostalgic vibes that you used to get when being read to by a parent. The narration really made it so much easier for me to get lost in the story and accept some of its silliness; it kind of made me feel like a kid again!
P.S. I was surprised to find that Edmund was my favourite in this book! Especially since he was the only one I didn't like in the first one.
