Everything worked out a little too neatly

Lewis leaves no room for possible cultural differences and different ideologies

Also it's ridiculous he spent all this time telling his story to Aravis when he could've included the horses at the same time, but the Brits love hierarchy I guess

So Shasta thankfully doesn't have to be a heathen, he was kidnapped as a baby and grew up in servitude. Aslan knew, but he just let it happen and just gave occasional nudges every now and then

Aslan says he purposely clawed Aravis's back so she would feel what it was like when her stepmother whipped the slave she had drugged to escape. As with God, I'm not sure why people like this guy

Also they're all in great spirits afterward despite any casualties during the battle

CS Lewis storyteller style in these books often verges on telling, not showing, but no more so than this battle scene, that is being dictated to the reader and to some main characters by a hermit gazing into a magic pool and telling us what's happening as it happens. This def makes for a less compelling battle scene

It's amazing how little of this book has to do with the title

Everything about this impending battle between the heathen lands and the talking Bunny rabbits is framed as exciting adventure

" '(...) Horse. I don't know your name.'

'Breehy - hinny - brinny- hoohy - ha,' said the Horse.

'I'll never be able to say that,' said Shasta. 'Can I call you Bree?'

'Well, if it's the best you can do, I suppose you must,' said the Horse. 'And what shall I call you?'

'I'm called Shasta.'

'H'm,' said Bree. 'Well, now, there's a name that's really hard to pronounce. (...)"

emphasis on how much better things are in Narnia as opposed to the heathen lands
