The trigger warnings aren’t exactly outwardly expressed in the books (except war, war is a major player), but they are hinted at in some ways.
This is one of my favorite series i’ve ever read. I was invested in all the characters and their adventures, and never wanted them to end. Genuinely cried when it finally did.

Note: This edition has all 7 of The Chronicles of Narnia in. I am so glad to have re-read these books, especially as an 'adult'. They are timeless yet you pick up on new things everytime that you read them. Yes, they are books of their time meaning that the culture is very different and they are not as appropriate, compassionate or inclusive as we would expect in this age, but they are still wonderful books and I would highly recommend.
