The Silver Chair
by C.S. Lewis
bij derde lezing
Twee kinderen worden in Narnia erop uit gestuurd om in een onderaards land een prins te redden. Hoewel wederom spannend geschreven, komt dit deel onderhand wat routinematig over en het bevat wat vervelende opmerkingen over moderne schoolsystemen.

Together with '[b:The Horse and His Boy|84119|The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia, #5)|C.S. Lewis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388210968l/84119._SX50_.jpg|3294501]' this must be the weakest volume of the series. It's also the longest, but the adventure is remarkably dull and tiresome compared to earlier entries in the Narnia cycle. The two children are only blundering heroes, and have little of the courage or conflict present in the earlier books. Moreover, when our heroes finally meet the main villain, their confrontation with her is surprisingly short. And the end is a most unconvincing anticlimax. What doesn't help is the gloomy atmosphere of the lands in the North and below the earth.
The book is mainly about Jill, who's new to Narnia. She's a fine character, more realistic than the four Pevensie children. Eustace, on the other hand, unfortunately has lost all personality, and he has no sub story of his own. Therefore, it's Puddlegum the marsh Wiggle who steals the show with his comically pessimistic outlook on life. He's easily one of Lewis' best creations, but cannot save an adventure that is just plain weak when compared to the other Narnia books.
