jasbeingjas 's review for:

The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis
3.0
adventurous hopeful medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

So much of the character description and portrayal came across as Islamaphobia or colorism. I was expecting a fun children’s book, and the story was but it was hard to unsee from just the very beginning of the book. I huge reminder of when these books were written and so far out of the series I think this would be one that hasn’t aged well.
