Derek Bailey’s Reviews > The Chronicles of Narnia: Complete Audio Collection > Status Update

Prince Caspian was much better than the movie adaptation. I found it really interesting just how different it was. That said, the fact that these kids lived an entire life as adults and then return as children was somehow weirder, maybe because it's mentioned somewhat often. It was definitely darker and more violent than the prior books and I'm curious to see where the rest of the series goes from this point.

A Horse and His Boy was an interesting one. I think I ultimately liked it in the end, but probably less so than the first two books. It was a little funnier than the others and I appreciated that it expanded upon the broader universe that Narnia is set in. It was also quite interesting that we didn't actually spend much time in Narnia itself.

Finished with The Magician's Nephew which I never read even though it is apparently the first book in the series. I quite enjoyed the realm hopping aspects as well as getting the origins for Aslan, the witch, and Narnia itself. The brilliance of Lewis's writing was quite a pleasure to revisit as well. There's a great deal of spiritual depth on the nature of goodness and selfishness packed into a family friendly tale
