a true diamond in the rough kind of story

when humility and bravery come together in one character. I liked Shasta the most in this story.

I also love the return of the Pevensley siblings but as the kings and queens in action.

This was my favorite Narnia book growing up, and I’m thrilled that it’s held up! The characters are so multidimensional and charming, and the setting lets Lewis explore different facets of Aslan’s character. (One note: I think that to modern readers this book does feel dated at best, real-life-racism-squeezing-its-way-into-fantasy-worlds at worst. It wouldn’t prohibit me from recommending it to someone because I do think it’s mild and not ill intended, but I would recommend it with some comments beforehand.)
