This book was so unbelievably racist. It deals with the Calormenes very badly and constantly presents Asian as the ‘right’ god to believe in. It only manages to be better than The Horse and His Boy by not being painfully boring

4.0

I really don’t know what to say; this book destroyed me. The first half was just horrible and dark and eventually saw an end that was both incredibly sad and hopeful. I wanted nothing more than for the end to be false. 

I did have a couple of issues with this. Firstly, there is a whole lot of grey morality where there isn’t supposed to be. Secondly, I wasn’t a huge fan of Titian.  Despite these issues, I just can’t be mad at this book for some bizarre emotional reason, and so it has my 4 stars.
