The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis
2.0

this book feels like a fever dream. i remembered very random bits of it but overall the plot doesn’t really make coherent sense yet again the characters all fall extremely flat
and yet again there is a completely new set of characters.

a boy and girl find themselves on the run each accompanied by a talking narnian horse also both respectively on the run from their situations. the group gets to a city and finds themselves split up due to various coincidental events. the boy discovers his twin who is a prince living in the pevensies court. the girl who was running from an arranged marriage runs into a cousin. both kids go on small adventures and learn of important information which then sends the crew on a new adventure to inform the narnians and another country of a surprise attack

the only reason i give these books so many stars is due to the nostalgia
