Even after all these years, I will never stop loving Narnia and its world building. I love these characters so much and this book is such a nostalgic breath of fresh air for me. 

As an adult revisiting this story through novel and not motion picture, I realize some more meanings in the story as compared to when I was younger. I feel like Narnia was my first foray into fantasy and even after all the fantasy stories I have consumed, it still holds a high place in my heart. 

Such a good read especially considering how old this book is.

I remember it fondly from childhood, but the writing style is a little strange to read now. Good to do a watch-along with the movie.

filipacmiranda's review against another edition

3.5

Após adiar a leitura d’As Crónicas de Nárnia durante anos, optei por investir numa primeira leitura da coleção seguindo a ordem original de publicação dos livros. 

Gostei particularmente do facto de C. S. Lewis ter descrito detalhadamente os espaços que compreendem a ação e os acontecimentos que a compõem, recorrendo a uma escrita simples e adequada às crianças, permitindo-lhes visualizar facilmente a história. Além disso, mesmo sabendo que o autor pretendia estabelecer algumas pontes entre O Leão, A Feiticeira e o Guarda-Roupa e a Bíblia, para a maioria das crianças, acredito que este não passará de um conto acerca da díade bondade-maldade e das consequências dos nossos atos. 

Embora, neste primeiro volume, se destaquem intensamente as características menos positivas do Edmund e ele tenha direito a um arco de redenção, através do qual se torna uma pessoa justa e acarinhada, gostava que as personalidades do Peter, da Susan e da Lucy também tivessem sido mais bem exploradas. Aguardo para perceber se os restantes livros serão utilizados para desenvolver este trabalho e aprofundar as outras personagens...
