The Slver Chair

 

The Silver Chair BY: C.S. Lewis

I really enjoyed this book. I know I've read it before but I honestly couldn't remember any of it. Its always fun having returning characters mixed with new character in book series that act as separate stories but all tie in together. In the case of this book, it was fun to have Eustice and Caspian back. Aslan too of course but he's always reoccurring in all the book. He's the ever constant in The Chronicles of Narnia. In the silver chair, the evil was again a witch that cast an evil enchantment that had to be broken. This witch a lot like the white witch in the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, also declared herself royalty when she wasn't. This story is just another great story and example of good triumphing over evil.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

 

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader By: C.S. Lewis

Its been awhile since I read this so it was fun to be able to re-read it. I forgot parts of the book so it was fun to rediscover this story. I remember when I first read this I wasn't to pleased with the story and the way it flowed. But the second time I didn't see any of the issues of flow from when I first read the book. In fact the flow of the story made more sense the second time around.

Prince Caspian


 Prince Caspian By: C.S. Lewis

This is one of those "passing of the torch" kind of stories from one king to the next. But I did enjoy it a lot. Its fun to go back to the original story and relive it instead of always going for the movie. Which I think they did ok with the movie, but there are certain things they added in the movie that are a little annoying that arent in the book. For example in the movie Peters character is sort of arrogant, but he's nothing like that in the book. But at the same time I find Susan a little more annoying in the book then the movie, so both have their up and downs. :) Overall a really fun read and story to revisit.

The Horse and His Boy

 

The Horse and His Boy By: C.S. Lewis

I have read this before a few years ago and there is a lot that I remembered, but there was a lot that I didn't remember too. It was kind of fun re reading this and feeling like it was new as well. I really enjoy this story and think it is one of my favorites in the series so far. A really fun read and it was nice because it has the characters of Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy as well but they aren't the main part of the story. So it was nice to have them there but also fun to hear a different story from different characters during their reign.
