The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
by C.S. Lewis
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe: ★★★.5
Prince Caspian: ★★★
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader:
The Silver Chair:
The Horse and His Boy:
The Magician's Nephew:
The Last Battle:
This was actually a pretty delightful read! I will admit that I like the movie more to be perfectly honest, but I'm definitely planning on reading the rest of this series. I think the main issue I have with it is the pacing; I understand that it's children/middle grade and so it can't be too graphic, but skipping over all the major conflicts made the plot feel like it was moving at lightning speed. I didn't even realize the main battle was about to happen until all of a sudden it was over. I love the world and the story but do think it would have fared better as an adult, or even young adult series (which is why I prefer the movie because you see ever so slightly more of the conflict/darker elements)
