This was a wonderful book!
Since reading the Narnia series (in publication order), something I feel the previous books (apart from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe) have lacked was an ending that lead you towards the future of that story. Something that makes me feel very satisfied, thrilled, and altogether happy is when a book goes on to tell you what happens after the readers have to depart.
Overall I enjoyed this book greatly— the story captured my interest and the characters rang a similar tune to the Pevensie children from the first book.
I’m excited to finish the series and I’d recommend it to anyone interested!

The Horse and His Boy was a lovely story. I enjoyed the characters and the adventure. I liked how Aslan was the one guiding the characters all the way through their story without them knowing and I liked that King Edmund and Queens Susan and Lucy were in it.
I wanted more of Narnia though. They didn't reach Narnia until quite near the end and I miss the land and creatures. I also wanted more of Aslan.

It was enjoyable and as fast paced as the previous book/s (depending on which order your reading). I think I didn't enjoy it as much as it didn't have the same nostalgia that the lion, the witch and the wardrobe had for me.
Still a lovely book and great to read with children.

Such a fun but lesser known story in the chronicles of narnia. I think CS Lewis’ writing is beautiful and timeless and he uses such beautiful imagery for the Christian life.

This is so far the book I least enjoyed out of the series. I really struggled to get into the book and if it wasn’t for the audiobook I don’t think I would have finished it. My interest was slightly piqued when we met characters from previous books but not enough to give it a higher rating.
