The Horse and His Boy by C.S. Lewis
3.0
3 stars
i didn’t really connect with this story as much as the others since it was quite disconnected from the original narnia world, with only glimpses of the magic that i grew to love. the whole story mainly takes place in calormen, journeying to narnia.
normally i really enjoy books where the characters are travelling along a long journey (like this one across the desert), but this one didn’t have the depth or interesting aspects during the journey that i usually love reading. it felt a little dragged out (surprising since the book itself is so short) and didn’t really feel like much was happening.
also, i wish the book focused more heavily on bree and shasta (prince cor btw how cute), since their dynamic was actually interesting. we have a talking war horse who abandoned his tarkaan and was taken from narnia as a baby, and then shasta who had a similar origin but ended up in conditions of more poverty and labour. their differences and relationship was something i wanted to see more of (opportunity would’ve been during the long journey) but it just didn’t happen. especially since this is a children’s story, i would’ve thought this was a story worth diving into but i suppose not.
also side not, even shastas relationship with aravis? we saw them disagreeing but hardly much of their growth. suddenly they grew up together and got married. i wanted to see more of them too.
however in the grand scheme of things, this isn’t a bad book at all and i still had a fun time reading it despite it not really living up to my expectations. it didn’t have the magical spark of narnia that i usually feel, but it was entertaining enough. the battle talk and plotting was somewhat interesting and added suspense and a sense of urgency to the story, with shasta having to make it to archenland to warn the king there who turns out to be his dad anddd he has a twin brother (very cute)
another part i enjoyed, but i always enjoy this part, was of course aslan. seeing aslan coming and protecting shasta and friends throughout the story was heartwarming and his character always reminds me of religious stories i have grown up hearing (in particular aslan walking alongside shasta on his left while shasta walked towards narnia, protecting him from the edge without him even knowing).
little appreciation for hwin our girly horse damsel in distress but also such a powerful character. i wanted to give her a hug she tried so hard throughout the book to keep up with bree, a WAR HORSE, and keep everyone safe and think of plans and she always pulled through. cute character
overall, the story was just okay, i definitely think and hope the others will be better moving forward, since the previous 2 were more impressive for me

These Twisted Bonds by Lexi Ryan

4 stars. can’t decide which book i preferred because i preferred different aspects of it
The Silver Chair by C.S. Lewis
3.0
3 stars
this book felt like a fever dream. can’t say it’s my favourite narnian story, but rather my least favourite at the moment. it didn’t have the same magic the other books have, and i couldn’t connect with the characters like i connected with our original 4 and caspian. if anything seeing caspian old was sad, i thought we would’ve had another story with him adventuring, maybe with his son. but instead he was really old, sailed away, came back to reunite with his son, then DIED? now he’s in aslans country frolicking with reepicheep.
our marshwiggle puddleglum was my favourite new character, especially with the audiobook sounding like hagrid. jill was sorta meh, she reminded me a little of wendy from peter pan.
the entire underground plot line fell a little flat for me. it reminded me of the story of yecuc and mecuc (scary islamic belief), which gave me yucky feelings, but then it disappeared pretty fast. prince rillians character felt a little underdeveloped compared to what we have seen in earlier books, but maybe he will be back in the final book? i’m not too sure.
the witch of the underworld being the same kind as our original white witch was fun, but even she was too easily defeated. this woman who had the prince and the entire underworld enchanted under her spell to create an army and function as a society got defeated in a couple chapters? i wanted some more from her.
i will note that the journey into the underworld did a great job at making me feel claustrophobic. the descriptions of us going deeper and deeper, with the tunnels getting tighter, and the light being nothing - did not like that feeling
i liked the religious messages i pulled from it, and still enjoyed my time. butttt this is sitting at the bottom of my ranking system now, pushing the horse and his boy up a level
onto the next!

The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis
3.0
3 stars. i understand the point of this book to conclude the story and of course we need an epic battle to finalise it……… buttttttt
still isn’t my favourite. i did really enjoy seeing all our characters come back including digory and polly since we haven’t seen them since the magicians nephew. however, i was disappointed with susan’s character development (why did we go backwards?) and wished she was part of the group coming back to narnia. i understand she was supposed to represent people who forget religion and god and instead focus more on worldly things, but i can’t help feeling disappointed.
i felt bad for puzzle and his dynamic with shift was interesting to read and compare to modern rulers and influences. shift said do, puzzle said okay! reminded me a lot of what i’ve always learnt since being a child, of the ways people will be strayed away so i liked that familiarity.
however, the magic wasn’t there even for this. i felt lost during the fight scenes, and zoned out for a lot of it. the constant dispute back and forth between tash’s followers and aslan and the whole controversy of them being combined but not - i found myself not caring. i was just waiting until aslan was back so the magic could return, butttttt somehow expected more? i can’t fault the book since it DID, in theory, bring great aspects with all the og characters, reepicheep, caspian, everyone in aslans country. even with aslans return and his interactions with everyone especially lucy and jill… alas, it didn’t affect me the way i anticipated.
part of me felt a little disappointed that they died in the railway accident, and now they’ve entered the ‘real narnia’. again, i can’t really pinpoint why, but as soon as the wiping away of narnia went away and it became the ‘real’ i found myself just going .. oh? it built up so well then just fell flat for me.
there are definitely faults with this story as a whole in terms of racism and sexism, but considering when it was written, i will suppress some of the disgust. but the way the ‘dark’ people are described to just be filthy and essentially stupid compared to the ‘white pure’ people doesn’t really sit right in me. when beauty is associated with the ‘dark people’ it’s always written as a shock rather than something normal.
despite everything, will i recommend narnia as a whole, of course. it is a classic and i think everyone should read it even if you aren’t religious. it’s a story told from a narrator for anyone of any age and that is hard to find.

Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
3.75
3.75 stars
this was a major improvement to the last 2 books that i can only wonder where miss bardugo was hiding this before. the found family between the remaining army (particularly genya and david, zoya, nadia, tamar and tolya, and of course nikolai, mal and alina) was actually heartwarming this time and i liked seeing more interactions between them all and seeing the way their relationships were adapting and flourishing. i can’t help but feel that this would have been more impactful had it been built on in the previous two books. there was a lot of potential, but still i enjoyed what i got.
the layers added to characters in this book was probably one of my favourite parts. the darkling (i still love him sorry), nikolai, and MAL. finally mal has received SOMETHING, something to make him worth keeping around. i’m sorry but i could not feel a connection to him, and even now that connection is limited. i’m going to keep repeating that i wish that love for him was established in the first book, not the third. seeing his love, his determination, his strength, and selflessness grow in this book was great, both in relation to the war and his relationship with alina. him being the amplifier was a twist i didn’t see coming (my theory was that he was grisha in some way, maybe the darklings son, but this didn’t even cross my mind). the realisation at the cliffs edge broke my heart. also, him soaking in the world around him and telling alina he always wanted something better for her got a few tears out of me. i cried for a few minutes (if this was built on previously, i msg have sobbed for hours).
the darkling. he is really just a soft boy really. a man who wanted to create a safer, better world for the grisha where they did not have to live in fear and suffering. he just grew ruthless along the way towards life. his seductive, sexual energy remained and intensified which is always a treat, but seeing the major shift in his character during the final battle scene hurt my heart. he became this boy afraid of being alone. at his core, thats really what it was. he lost his mother (baghra mvp btw, she really just suicided with the nothings) and now he lost the only other person who was LIKE him (but also so different). his dying wish for him not to be alone made him feel so human (‘:
nikolai… look i’m not going to lie him becoming essentially possessed by a volcra was annoying because i wanted more of his character in this book and was really looking forward to seeing his character grow, so i feel like i was robbed of that. however i can understand the layers this added to the story. nikolai, a bundle of sunshine tbh, pure energy, pure LIGHT, becoming consumed by darkness from within, and seeing that battle between both energies was interesting. i’m happy he came back, but miss bardugo pls make a book just about him thank you.
in terms of the setting, this book was majorly improved. there was MORE happening during their travels, character interactions, more inner dialogue, interesting atmospheres. i wasn’t bored (for most of it, some parts still fell a little flat), and the snowy base of nikolai was fun, i really liked the picture i made up in my head for it.
and of course, morozovas story was interesting. i always love history and magical folklore so i ate it up. morozova resurrecting his human daughter and thus creating the third amplifier which travelled down to mal was so fun. BUT, i will say mal and alina losing their powers ahhhhh. i understand, it comes full circle, it is the message of the amplifiers magic (one human should not be greedy to the point of wanting all that power for themselves, but rather have it divided amongst many). BUT THEIR MAGIC WAS SO FUN my heart actually sank to the floor.
i wish i could’ve felt more connected to these characters throughout the entire series and had been completely captivated the entire time, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. i’d still recommend this series, but really would urge people to push through the first 2. this final book is the one that made the series feel worthwhile.
i look forward to reading six of crows and coming back to this world.

Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver
4.5
i had a really good time with this story and these characters, and after sitting on my feelings for a few days, i can say that my hearts only grown fonder
sloane and rowan were great and hot. i loved them together but also individually. one thing about sloane that i have found myself continuously thinking of is her constantly putting in effort despite her fears and doubts. she kept trying and giving things a go, and giving rowan a chance. it’s not something i’ve seen in many books really, usually there’s a lot of self sabotage, so this was refreshing and honestly i’ve been actively trying to channel my inner sloane and do the same irl.
rowan is our golden retriever protective serial killer book boyfriend🫶🏼 i loved him, particularly from the first kill when he tore apart our secret room watching her masturbate man🥲 disgusting, but rowan killing him in an animalistic way and then exposing his vulnerability looking for sloane right after - that’s where i knew.
there was a decent amount of smut, but i liked that it didn’t really happen throughout the book but rather more at the end. i enjoyed the plot despite it having unrealistic aspects (where are the cops and detectives?!) and genuinely looked forward to the plot and characters developing. also the big time jumps helped me connect to the characters more and believe their feelings, especially considering it’s a relatively short book. i’m not a fan of insta love, so the time jumps helped solve that issue.
the writing felt like i was part of them, with their jokes and banter, with their fears, heartbreak, excitement. it was really immersive and i found myself giggling and “awww”ing, and “nooo”ing out loud many times. as always, every romance will have moments that make me cringe (with this one for some reason it was her repeatedly saying ‘you’re the worstttt’, not sure why), but for the most part everything else i looked past or ate up.
i also loved that we got to really know the characters and see them actually talking to each other. even if we didn’t SEE, it was alluded to enough that i believed they knew a lot about each other and actually had substance to their relationship. this is a huge thing for me in any book. i need to see the characters bonding and see their chemistry or im just not going to buy it. i bought it here tho yay
in terms of the gore, i don’t get affected easily so i didn’t feel genuinely sick with any part of this book, but if you’re squeamish i’d definitely tell you to check trigger warnings. there’s skin peeling and slurping and eye plucking (gouging as rowan would say, particularly the left eye). maybe because i’ve always read or watched thrillers and horrors, i am desensitised to most things. i will add though, sloane, our orb weaver, had a very interesting method of killing her victims with the web map and different markings. side note here to appreciate the loss of colour in her art coming back after rowan (‘: i actually had to close the book and immediately tell meva (my best friend), and mush about it. that was quite heartwarming.
NOW LET ME GET TO DAVID. you’re telling me we adopted this poor lobotomised man, gave him a job and saved his life just for him to be slurping up rowans skin? absolutely not. i really didn’t trust david from the start but when heaps of time went by and mans was still chillin washing the dishes i actually forgot about him tbh. annndddd what a mistake that was. that whole scene with rowan basically telling sloane he hates her and she’s a psycho HURT because holy shit why did we have to go so hard? david doesn’t know about the nitty gritty details about her, why did we have to get so personal.
each killer we encountered was a great time (our cannibal who made us eat ass and had semen cookies and cream ice cream will not be spoken of anymore, but that’s where we got david) however out of them all, the chainsaw guy was probably the best one. the stakes were so high, he was absolutely insane, he KICKED sloane in the face and left a boot mark with the brand (‘: the descriptions of the revving and the laughing before they even went inside were so fun (scary but we signed up for this) and reminded me a lot of real life stories of serial killers and also dead by daylight (pc game i play) so that was great. i loved seeing rowan step up and fight for sloane in this entire scene, especially seeing the way it alters him for the rest of the book since he’s extremely afraid of losing her.
i don’t really have any noteworthy negatives to say about this story. i thoroughly enjoyed my time and look forward to the upcoming books about rowans brothers (lachlan and lark🫶🏼 but also aggressive rose and nerdy fionn?? pls). 100% recommend but check trigger warnings unless you’re desensitised like me (‘:
