Found family - Love - Friendship
This had a good balance of all three, while taking found family literally. It was different from what I had initially been expecting, but I still enjoyed reading it. There were a few moments where I felt it dragged a bit. Although it was inspired by 'The Chronicles of Narnia,' the Bright Boys reminded me of the Lost Boys from Peter Pan.
Even though it's been a while since I read all seven books in the series, aside from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, I was still able to pick up on moments in the book that were inspired by the books. There was a moment toward the end of the book where I figured out who one of the characters was before it was revealed. Besides that, it still added to the story when the character is revealed.
All in all, it was an intriguing story and enjoyable overall.
