The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis

3.0

---

This book was pretty good and probably my favorite of the series so far! While there are some old characters from the other books, the main characters are all new. This book is about an orphan boy who runs away with a talking horse, seeking freedom in Narnia, the country where the talking horse is from. Along the way, they meet up with a girl who is also running away with a talking horse, seeking freedom from being forced to marry an old man. I liked this book because the story was cute and even Aslan’s role felt more poignant and less cheesy. The stakes also felt very real for the characters. So yeah, this is the best one yet - 3 stars!
