El relato avanza un poco lento y es diferente a los actuales, pero sigue siendo hermoso. Se gasta mucho en la descripción, pero la historia en sí es buena.

5 stars on behalf of my kids! Interestingly, they say this is their favorite Narnia book yet (we still have The Silver Chair, the Last Battle, and the Magician's Nephew to go, so I'm curious to see if their opinion will change). Shasta's story just really captivated them, and it has a true fairy tale ending that is so incredibly satisfying.

One of the better installments of Narnia so far. The story is clear, precise, and fun. We all enjoyed this one.

Des anneaux magiques. Une armoire magique. Un autre monde, merveilleux, médiéval, où les animaux parlent et où le temps passe différemment. Narnia. Un lion divin, Aslan. Des enfants qui peuvent devenir rois et reines.

The Chronicles of Narnia (Le monde de Narnia en français) est une des sagas littéraires de fantasy les plus connues. Il y a 7 romans au total, écrits par Clive Staple Lewis et publiés au Royaume-Uni entre 1950 et 1956. L'ordre de lecture a changé entre temps et aujourd'hui les éditions proposent une numérotation non pas dans l'ordre de publication mais dans l'ordre chronologique de l'histoire, selon les volontés de l'auteur. Ainsi, il y a The Magician's Nephew (Le neveu du magicien), The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (Le lion, la sorcière blanche et l'armoire magique), The Horse and his Boy (Le cheval et son écuyer), Prince Caspian (Le prince Caspian), The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (L'odyssée du Passeur d'Aurore), The Silver Chair (Le fauteuil d'argent) et The Last Battle (La dernière bataille).
Le cycle, destiné aux enfants, a connu de multiples adaptations à la radio, au théâtre, à la télévision et récemment au cinéma. Une série est d'ailleurs en chantier chez Netflix.
Si j'ai apprécié au départ découvrir ce monde merveilleux par les yeux des enfants Digory et Polly puis Peter, Susan, Edmund et Lucy, j'ai ensuite été déçue. J'ai trouvé qu'après le Prince Caspian les romans perdent en originalité et le lore est de moins en moins consistant et respecté. De plus, outre les immenses analogies avec le christianisme et sa morale, l'oeuvre a mal vieilli en ce qu'elle paraît aujourd'hui sexiste, raciste et colonialiste. Dommage.

Context: My sister and I created something we call the Narnia Challenge. It is where you compete with a group or another person to see who can finish The Chronicles of Narnia the fastest. You can do it for a prize or bragging rights. (We personally are doing it for bragging rights.) But you read each novel and then you write a paragraph about the novel. I however had an extra challenge thrown into the pre-existing challenge… I had to write my paragraph about how much I either loved or missed having High King Peter in the book. (If you can’t tell I Love Peter.)Feel free to do the challenge if you would like with your friends or family. And if you do please share with me because I would love to talk about your experience with this challenge. Below are the paragraphs from The Narnia Challenge that I wrote I hope you enjoy.

Okay this book is good but I have one gripe. We get to see all of the kids except Peter. Can we just talk about this for a second, we see all of the other Kings and Queens of Narnia but we never see the high King. This is set in the reign of the High King Peter when referring to later on in the books but do we see Peter no. I really love the book and I love the series but I just miss Peter. On to the next one where there is Peter.

C'est le livre des chroniques de Narnia que j'ai le moins aimé jusqu'à maintenant. Je ne me suis pas attaché à Shasta, le garçon qui s'enfuit à cheval et qui devra malgré lui sauver Narnia. Je n'ai pas cru à l'histoire qui avançait trop lentement. J'aurais plutôt aimé découvrire le personnage secondaire d'Aravis qui s'enfuit pour éviter d'être mariée contre son gré.
