yall i know i'm reading this series 70 years after everyone else but this shit was GOOD!!!! after a few books that lulled in this series, this book was just as charming and addicting as the lion, the witch and the wardrobe. i'm not typically a fan of books set at sea but i loved the pace of just sailing east where nobody knows what's out there and all the islands and adventures they stumble across. each character played a role in the story to teach the reader a lesson (who would've thought you'd...

A different formula (which sadly didn't work) for Edmund, Lucy, and Prince CaspianPrince Caspian, in a large ship called "The Dawn Treader", is out looking for seven lords who were dispatched by King Miraz during his reign. In this quest, Edmund, Lucy, and Eustace (Edmund and Lucy's cousin) join along for the adventure.Pros:*The reader revisits some characters introduced in previous Narnia books.*Eustace. This character was constantly complaining. Additionally, his name kind of sounds like "usel...

Isn't growing up a drag, not only do you have to trade in a 3PM school day finish for a 5PM work day finish you also get too old to enter Narnia. I call age discrimination!I'll be interested to see how the last two books of this series go without our four base characters. Peter, Susan, Edmond and Lucy, it been the fabbiest hanging out with you guys. Alas, you get old and no longer eligible to enter Narnia, is there no justice? Enjoyed riding the waves in this book, by jove we had an adventure!3 ...

"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 am reading this series in publication order (yes, I know, I am 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 favourite book so far. I ...

One of my fave Narnia books when I was a child, the crew of the Dawn Treader are joined by Ed, Lucy and Eustace as they seek out the seven expelled Lords who sailed East seven years earlier. Eustace is a great character, in that he behaves as a few most certainly would, with utter disbelief, shock, and also borderline horror at the 'backward' Narnian reality, as well as forever questioning and assigning his own ideas of the motives and aims of his fellow crew.The trip sailing East, allows C.S. L...

For some reason I enjoyed this the most of all the chronicles so far. It was I felt the "best" story, certainly (for some reason) the most emotional. Although there were few talking animals compared to all the previous books, there was the glorious Reepicheep, and he just steals the show.The tension builds all the way through as Prince Caspian aided by Lucy, Edmund and (useless) Eustace , together with his loyal crew and Reepicheep hunt the seven Lords banished by Caspian's evil Uncle Miraz..Wit...

"There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."My absolute favorite quote in the entire book.In the latest installment, Lucy, Edmund and their cousin (Eustace) were having a bit of a tiff when they were suddenly pulled into a ship painting. (Apparently, you can get to Narnia just about any which way.)They land on Prince 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...

This is my fourth journey into the fantastical lands of Narnia, as I have chosen to read the series in chronological rather than publication order.This started rather poignantly for me, as the story opens with two of the Pevensie siblings returning to Narnia, with their cousin Eustace in tow. Without the elder Pevensie children I initially felt like some of the earlier allure was lost for me, as it acted as a reminder that we all reach an age where we grow up and magic refuses to become a possib...

It feels odd to mark this book as anything less than five stars. It was a huge part of my childhood.What's more, this book 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 I like here. Good things. It's a fun adventure story. There are cool settings. Action. Tension. The different nature o...

“Adventures are never fun while you're having them.” The pace of this book was kind of slow for me, I spent seven days for the first half of this book. Then when the adventure comes, everything just gets better and better. I enjoyed how The Voyage of the Dawn Treader has The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe vibes, even though it reminded me of some parts of Pirates of the Caribbean. “One of the most cowardly things ordinary people do is to shut their eyes to facts.” The ideas were flowi...
