The Complete Chronicles of Narnia

This was a unique experience, there is so much more story to Narnia than I originally expected. The audio books I listened to all had different authors, the last battle was read by Patrick Stewart was a treat! There are some religious themes but with the high fantasy theme sometimes I barely noticed. C.S. Lewis has a interesting descriptive writing style where he compares fantasy in everyday kind of terms.

I also recommend reading them in Chronological order instead of publishing order. They mention some characters that would be a shame if you didn't know their significance.



The Magician's Nephew () I never even knew this book was written. It was a thrill to first meet queen Jadis and how Narnia first began.The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe () Classic story that I have seen and heard of many times and my first time reading was pretty fun. I like the movies a little better now after reading them.The Horse and his Boy () Good story, I felt like I wouldn't miss much if I left this one out.Prince Caspian () Exciting adventure with the return of Peter, Susan, Edmond, and Lucy. My favorite character is Edmond and I'm happy to see him redeemed as an awesome character. “I left my new torch in Narnia”

Voyage of the Dawn Treader (**) Probably my favorite book in the series. I love when jerk character becomes likable, in this case Eustace becoming a dragon!!The Silver Chair () Good adventure, I was happy that is was an adventure with Eustace.The Last Battle () This was a darker tone than the rest of the Narnia books and I couldn't help but feel hopeless the whole time. [ Everyone dies! I feel really conflicted about the end because the writing was beautiful yet I can't believe that Susan is all alone. :/ (hide spoiler)]

You can pick up all of these books at the Colona Public Library. ~Ashley
