This was a lot younger in tone than I expected. I’d only seen the film so far and the vibe they used was definitely a lot more “epic fantasy adventure” than the book’s “wholesome children romping about in a magical country”. I adored the description of spring coming over winter, it was absolutely stunning.

I was a tiny bit annoyed by the “women aren’t supposed to go to war” and the “the witch is the daughter of satan” agenda, but alas C.S.Lewis was very catholic and very traditional, can’t really fault him for that.

Overall, was a cute read. I think my favorite part were the descriptions of nature, C.S.Lewis does those really well.

This was just adorable.

Having only watched the movie I’m surprised how close the movie adaption stuck with the source material.

I still love this story (maybe mostly because of nostalgia) and this world. I was struggling to get through some parts and the characters felt flat sometimes, but I still really enjoyed coming back to this story and probably always will.

"Once a King in Narnia, always a King in Narnia. But don't go trying to use the same route twice. Indeed, don't try to get there at all. It'll happen when you're not looking for it."

is there a better time to read this book than Christmas time? I do not think so. I've been waiting to read The Chronicles of Narnia for so long, I grew up watching the movies and cried with Aslan's sacrifice, fell in love with Caspian (ben barnes, I am looking at you). I decided to read them in the old order (published order) bc I feel like that's the one I will like (also I do really wanted to read this one first and Caspian second so there's that).

It took me less than a day to read this one (this is the second book I finish today) it was such a quick and nice read, cannot wait to read the rest, let us hope I do not fall into fantasy slump (again).

I was listening to Young God by Halsey & Champion by Barns Courtney

'kay, I'm out
Bye
