Although not my favorite, it's not my least favorite either. I did find Aravis entertaining.
My favorite remains The Silver Chair.



Sorry :-/



As far as Horse & His Boy goes, I really didn't like it when I was little... I felt exactly like Elfiegirl (message 8). But I just read it again a few months ago and I also liked it a lot!



I believe this part can be read in series or separately. You are not missing anything in the sequence.
I love the series. My least favorite was Silver Chair.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is an obvious analogy of the story of Jesus sacrificing his own life to save another's, then coming back to life. Aslan does the exact same thing.

The Last Battle was definitely sad, but it had the most incredible and satisfying ending. That story amazes me.



Yeah, i can't stand the movies, I wish that the people making the movies would just give up, I mean they make these books look like they suck.


if you read the very first book it would tell you how Narnia is created it makes it very clear of the comparison between him and God.

I was reading them in the order they were written so I did not get to this point yet when I made comment.
Up until this one book I did not see any resemblance.



Hey! It's my favorite, too!!! :)

My favourite is The magician's nephew, then The Last battle and The horse and his boy is third.

i hated the last battle. so depressing"
Well, a little. But everybody got to go to heaven in the end, right? :)


I love this book. Hope they make a movie!




@Duskdsquare: I've always liked that too - the world being formed by song. It's actually one of the cross pollination places between Narnia and Middle Earth (actually in The Silmarillion). I always enjoy seeing the little places where there is a Narnia moment in LotR or a LotR moment in Narnia.

CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien were friends, so there will be some similarities. I love this series, my favourite is the Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I hated the last one.
