An emotional climax to a series that is rarely paralleled.

Un modo perfetto di mettere fine ad una saga, seppur un bel po' doloroso. Separarsi da questa serie non è stato facile, ma sapevo che il momento sarebbe giunto e a conti fatti sono proprio felicissima di averla letta fino all'ultima pagina senza mai pentirmene (per quanto ci siano stati un paio di libri un po' più lenti degli altri, ho amato comunque tutto tantissimo e la cosa dopo l'esperienza con Percy Jackson non può far altro che stupirmi!).
Sapevo già che L'ultima battaglia avrebbe comunque riscattato i due volumi precedenti e così è stato: ho visto azione dalla prima pagina fino all'ultima e mi sono sentita coinvolta come non mai nelle magiche avventure di Narnia, che alla fine - ahimè - ho dovuto lasciare. Per quanto spaccacuore sia il finale ho amato vedere chiudersi così la vicenda, anche e soprattutto perché non mi sarei mai aspettata che niente del genere potesse succedere. Ero convinta che a cose fatte tutti sarebbero tornati nel mondo che gli appartiene come al solito, ma sono rimasta piacevolmente colpita dal finale che il Maestro Lewis ha deciso di dare alla sua meravigliosa saga. Per quanto sorprendente e doloroso, è stato giustissimo così.

To be alive in a world of hatred and greed, or to be alive amongst friends and your savior. I think C.S Lewis wrote this one quiet well. I loved every second of it's true nature.

The best feel-good book of the seven. Talk about a happily-ever-after. I love the allusions and parallels found in the pages of this book to the Bible. It makes for quite an interesting read when read through those eyes.

The way the “villains” of this book were described seemed pretty racist to me 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also this ending was so dumb.

2022 reread: I didn't remember much of this one from reading it originally years ago, so this was fun. It's a great conclusion to the series, story-wise, and also ripe with meat of religious commentary and allegory. I found the Tash bit, where Aslan says that he counts devotion to Tash as devotion to him was interesting, especially as that's quite a controversial thing to contemplate....I like that Lewis doesn't shy away from giving even adult readers things to think about. I've always remembered that Susan doesn't return in this book and I....I don't know....I kind of like it? Like it makes perfect sense for her that she would have "outgrown" Narnia. Sure, the ones who remain throw shade at her for this, but it seems realistic to me that of all these kids, not all of them would have remained "call-able" throughout their lives. I also didn't remember Puzzle at all from my first read, but he was so stinkin' lovable and I was so glad he got a good ending after being gaslit to high heavens in the first few chapters. Puzzle FTW.
