I listened to the audiobook and the best thing about it is Sir Kenneth Branagh doing all sorts of funny voices and accents for all the animals 😅 imagine, an elephant with a Scottish accent 😂
I’ve seen the Narnia movie many many times over as a kid and always loved it, so it was so cool to learn about the origins of the country and Aslan and the witch!
I knew that there were going to be some biblical references (I knew Aslan was a representation of Jesus/God), but it was
very heavy on the Christian analogies. Forbidden fruit, temptation, all that sort of stuff. It feels like the author’s main goal was to teach children that if you believe in god everything will turn out alright. Which didn’t sit quite right with me because I’m a devoted atheist 🙈 still, it was a lovely little story. I’m excited to read the rest of the series.
Also, uncle Andrew is a nasty piece of work, he deserved to be planted in the earth like a tree 😂
⭐️⭐️⭐️
