3.0

Lucy and Edmund, who are frankly my two favorite Pevensies, make their return to Narnia with their young cousin Eustance Scrubb (what a name!) in [b:The Voyage of the Dawn Trader|31307109|The Voyage of the Dawn Trader|C.S. Lewis|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1470026325l/31307109._SY75_.jpg|3349054]. This is an episodic sea adventure that sees our cast meet up with Caspian as he sets off on a voyage to find his father’s friends who were cast off by his uncle.

The crew travels between the islands encountering different magical creatures and adventures. Scrubb even gets some character development by way of a dragon incident, which is good fun. So, while this is not as strong as the previous two entries of The Chronicles of Narnia, or Ursula K. Le Guin’s own episodic sea fantasy The Earthsea Cycle, it is a pretty solid read that I do recommend if you want to continue your own travels through Narnia.

Rating: 3.5 stars
