Seven chapters into Prince Caspian. Seems like the embedded narrative ends in chapter 8. So far I’m reminded of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and it’s better than Horse and His Boy. Prince Caspian was the second Narnia book published and I think Lewis wanted Horse and His Boy to be read beforehand so the location names will be familiar. There doesn’t seem to be a connection otherwise.

Woohoo! Done with The Horse and His Boy. This strategy is working! Anyways, although it’s definitely weaker than Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe and Magician’s Nephew, it ended up being okay once the adventure into Tashbaan and Archenland began. The story moved quickly once Sasha and co had a clear goal and had a time limit to reach said goal. I enjoyed it. On to Prince Caspian!

Okay, I’m serious. I’m gonna finish this. Each chapter is about seven pages long so I’ll read a chapter a day. That means I’ll finish by mid-August. I got this!

Just starting the fifth chapter of The Horse and His Boy and I’m struggling with this! I think it’s because it’s part of an omnibus collection. I think if I were reading it as a standalone book I would have been done by now. This seems to take place after the main events in the Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe but before they returned to their own lands. I think it’s about to get interesting. Where’s Bree?

Finished The Lion, the Witch, and The Wardrobe. I think this story has become synonymous with the entire series. I mean people don’t usually talk about the other books, just this one. I actually liked Magician’s Nephew more. On to The Horse and His Boy.

Edmund’s a little snot.
