I enjoyed the adventure aspects of this book, in a lot of ways it reminded me of Diana Wynne Jones and the sequels in the Howls Moving Castle trilogy, but the racism… it’s not for me.

Remembered this as my favorite Narnia book and it’s easy to see why; it’s genuinely bleak and disturbing at times, and there’s no portal fantasy aspect making the book feel more grounded. But my god did I forgot how incredibly racist and Islamophobic the book is, probably because I didn’t realize it as a kid. There isn’t really any Christian lesson here like there are in the other books beyond “brown people with turbans are evil” which is wild and incredibly disappointing.

This book hasn't aged very well. Lewis's racism unfortunately pours over into a fantasy world that should be free of such things. I didn't finish this book as a kid because I found it rather boring, but I found it a bit more entertaining as an adult. Good horses.
