We are all between the paws of the true Aslan.

2024 thoughts: I'm always afraid to try to explain what I think of this book. Firstly, I don't really know. I oscillate. This time through I liked it a great deal, but it is certainly a depressing book. Everything is going wrong, and every time you think they have turned a corner, they have not. Then, well, the world ends. But noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy, and Aslan's Country is more beautiful and big than our greatest imaginings, and then they no longer saw him as a lion --

I don't know about Emeth. I have a little crisis every time I read that scene and start thinking a lot about salvation and noble pagans and virtue and intent and... I don't know. I think it is very hard to be a Christian and believe that non-Christians go to heaven. But sometimes I want to.

All in all, a hard book, but a good one.
