A review by astronad
The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis
3.0
Ever since I read the Narnia series in middle school I've loved it but it's undeniable that there has always been an undercurrent (sometimes overt) racism, sexism, and overall xenophobia. We can excuse it and say that it was a product of it's time but it's just as valid to view it from a modern lens and say that it was problematic.
This book, the conclusion to the series, is the most egregious offender lmao. Not gonna list all instances coz I think it would be a fun offensive scavenger hunt for people who do decide to read it, but damn it wasn't good.
Hopefully Greta Gerwigs adaptation of the material can somehow improve upon it (I don't think this is a big ask lol).
