The Horse and His Boy is a good story, but the worst book of the series thus far. It is not only that the events of The Horse and His Boy are the most inconsequential to the overarching storyline found in the Chronicles of Narnia, but also that the least interesting and slowest paced. The characters are strong, but the characters readers will be familiar with only make spot appearances here and there. I enjoyed it, and the last several chapters are very fun, just not as much as the other books in the series.
