A review by mbomersheim
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis
4.0
I liked the way that King Caspian was further developed throughout the book. I also enjoyed having a story with Lucy and Edmund. I have to say though, Eustace is rather a rotten character. I get that one of the main themes in this book is the idea of baptism, heaven, and rebirth, but I don't think that Eustace had to be such a nasty character in order for this to be executed.
I feel like the plot of this book is more like that of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien in that it is truly a quest story at heart, which is different than the overall plots of the previous books in the series. While the other books are quests, they're more focused on achieving a single goal while this book had more side plots. Additionally, there were some aspects of the plot that I felt could have gone more in depth or had more of a significant impact of the story. Overall, I enjoyed the book quite a bit.
