Love the relationship between the boy and horse… always looking out for each other! Fun traveling through the other countries too.

This one is my least favorite of the Chronicles of Narnia so far. Probably because it took so long for them to reach Narnia in the first place but whatever. This one was more so rushed than the other when it comes to the battle scenes but it is all good. Also I thought this was number three but apparently its number five. Strange...

This was a lot - so much - better than I remember it being the first time I read it. I'm not much of a horse person, so I remember not being really into it when I was a kid, but now that I'm able to appreciate horses and what roles they play, especially Narnian Talking Beasts, I really enjoyed the story! And the ending was awesome, as most Narnia stories are.

So. Dull. Neither my 10yo or I could stand it.

"Child," said the Voice. "I am telling you your story, not hers. I tell no one any story but his own."
"Who are you?" asked Shasta.
"Myself," said the Voice, very deep and low so that the earth shook: and again "Myself," loud and clear and gay: and then the third time "Myself," whispered so softly you could hardly hear it, and yet it seemed to come from all around you as if the leaves rustled with it.

“The Horse and His Boy” was the only of the seven works of “The Chronicles of Narnia” that I had never read in its entirety until now. It is one of the weaker works in the Narnia saga, as its primary purpose is seemingly to make Narnia bigger than itself, expanding its borders to places like Archenland and Calormen. While “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” and “The Silver Chair” seem to work towards this same end, as well, both of them do it in a way much more engaging, and with more twists and turns than “The Horse and His Boy.”
Yet, it is still an enjoyable read, and the subtle role of Aslan throughout the narrative—as he shows up in many unknown and unseen ways along the journey—speaks a deep theological truth of the ever-presence of God, even (and especially) when we are the least bit aware of it.
