I feel that the book wasn't needed. We do get to see more about Narnia in the Golden Age; however, the book mostly focuses on a character we don't know from before and isn't important to the other books as far as I can see. The book focuses on Shasta and his journey to warn Narnia about an attack, but he is barely there when he gets to Narnia. In my opinion, the book doesn't add anything and can be boring at times. The book is plot-focused, but the plot isn't captivating enough for me.
