First in written order, then in chronological order, so on and so forth. This is probably the darkest of the books, perhaps only contested by <u>Magician's Nephew</u> (which I didn't particularly enjoy, but I would not say was bad). Exploring the world of Narnia in a broader scope, we see new and different creatures and a growth in the "children's world" of Narnia to a darker place. Though, throw in characters like Puddleglum and you have enough comic relief to keep me entertained and intrigued (seems to be the word of the day) through a book. <br/> <br/>--So biggest pain ever, I just wrote an addition to this review and windows keyboard shortcuts screwed me over. Whatever. This book was as good as ever, mayhaps no longer my favorite, not meaning I disliked it, I just seemed to have enjoyed all the others more. Lewis does not fail in presenting you with the strange lands and creatures of Narnia and beyond, even down to the subterranian lands and even deeper. There was more to this but I don't feel up to retyping it all. Suffice it to say that i enjoyed it. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1008662?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
