No
I thought I would give The Chronicles of Narnia a go. I've had the books for forever, but I never ended up reading them as a kid. C. S. Lewis's writing gave me a warm and nostalgic feeling, despite that.
The Christian themes are not subtle, and I don't appreciate them. Santa's sudden appearance nearly ruined the whole book for me. Why does he believe it more ugly for "women" to fight in war than it is for actual children?
I enjoyed the book more after they finally met Aslan. Edmund is a fun character; I was thoroughly entertained by his misadventures in Narnia. The descriptions of the settings are beautiful, and I felt inspired to go on my own adventures while reading them. The ending, when they return to the wardrobe, nearly brought me to tears.
