Okay, so I know I'm reading this series like, 70 years after everyone else, but seriously, "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" was AMAZING!!!After a couple of books that kind of lagged, this one was just as enchanting and addictive as "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". I'm usually not big on sea stories, but I was totally hooked by the idea of just sailing east into the unknown in "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", discovering all those weird islands and adventures. Every character has a part t...

A different formula (which sadly didn't work) for Edmund, Lucy, and Prince CaspianPrince Caspian, aboard a large ship called *The Voyage of the Dawn Treader*, is searching for seven lords who were sent away by King Miraz during his reign. Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace (Edmund and Lucy's cousin) join the adventure.Pros:*The reader gets to see some characters introduced in previous Narnia books again.*Eustace. This character was constantly complaining. Plus, his name kind of sounds like "useless." If ...

Isn't growing up a drag? Not only do you have to trade finishing school at 3 PM for finishing work at 5 PM, but you also get too old to enter Narnia. I call age discrimination!I'm really curious to see how the last two books in this series play out without our core four characters. Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, it's been absolutely fabulous hanging out with you all. Sadly, you get old and no longer qualify to enter Narnia. Is there no justice?I thoroughly enjoyed riding the waves in this book;...

"Please, Aslan," said Lucy, "what do you call soon?""I call all times soon," said Aslan *note: a review of this whole series is up on my channel!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYscl...I'm reading this series in publication order (yes, I know, I'm weird), which means this was book number three for me. Also, I haven't read it as a kid, so this is my first experience with this classic. I liked this one more than number two (Prince Caspian), and this might very well be my favorite book so far. I lo...

One of my favorite Narnia books from childhood, the crew of *The Voyage of the Dawn Treader* are joined by Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace as they search for the seven exiled Lords who sailed east seven years before. Eustace is a fantastic character; he acts how many of us surely would, with complete disbelief, shock, and almost horror at the 'backward' Narnian reality. He's constantly questioning and applying his own ideas about the motives and goals of the rest of the crew. The voyage east allows C...

For some reason, *The Voyage of the Dawn Treader* was the most enjoyable of all the Chronicles of Narnia books so far. It felt like the "best" story and, for some reason, the most emotionally resonant. While there were fewer talking animals compared to the previous books, the glorious Reepicheep more than made up for it—he absolutely steals the show. The tension builds steadily as Prince Caspian, aided by Lucy, Edmund, and (the initially useless) Eustace, along with his loyal crew and Reepichee...

My absolute favorite quote in the entire book:"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."In the latest installment, Lucy, Edmund, and their cousin (Eustace) are having a bit of a tiff when they're suddenly pulled into a ship painting. (Apparently, you can get to Narnia just about any which way.)They land on King Caspian's ship, where we meet almost an entirely new cast of characters setting sail to find the seven lost lords of Narnia.“Do you mean to say," asked C...

This marks my fourth expedition into the enchanting realms of Narnia, as I've opted to experience the series chronologically rather than by publication date. It began rather touchingly for me, with the story opening as two of the Pevensie siblings return to Narnia, their cousin Eustace tagging along. The absence of the elder Pevensie children initially made me feel that some of the earlier magic was missing, serving as a reminder that we all reach an age where we grow up and magic seems impossi...

It feels weird giving "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" by C.S. Lewis anything less than five stars. It was a huge part of my childhood. This book review comes from a place of nostalgia, for sure.What's more, "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" is part of the reason I'm a decent public speaker these days. I joined forensics because this was the book that was being used for extemporaneous reading. (I didn't even know what forensics was when I started, just that I liked the book.)And there are things ...

“Adventures are never fun while you're having them.” The pace of this book was kind of slow for me; it took me seven days to get through the first half. But once the adventure kicks in, it just gets better and better. I loved how *The Voyage of the Dawn Treader* has those *The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe* vibes, even though it also reminded me a bit of *Pirates of the Caribbean*. “One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.” The ideas were just...
