Um, excuse me? They fucking DIE??!!! I mean I guess it makes sense, because the new Narnia was veeeerry obviously Heaven.
Of all the Narnia books, this one felt the most heavy with Biblical imagery and motifs. Which typically doesn’t bother me, but some references were blaringly obvious. The ending was fine, to be honest.
Like, I get it, it’s heaven.
But I like that it’s a happy ending, though
the battle is lost.
BUT, the racism was not cute at all. I know it’s a product of its time, but reeaally? Brownface? I don’t know.
