Reading the books in chronological order, this one was next, but another one that I didn’t enjoy as much as some the previous. I really enjoy the stories that involve the four children and their adventures. This part of the Chronicles of Narnia was a little confusing, which is surprising because it’s a children’s story, but even as an adult following the unfamiliar names and characters that are made up and in a different world.

I’m not surprised that out of the entire series I would enjoy some of the stories more than others, as any series of books goes. Plus knowing they are aimed for a younger audience helps me get through them more than anything else. ( )

This was so much fun. I think they each get better as I progress through the series. I was beginning to think how much I missed the children and here they were again! ( )

I read a book by C.S. Lewis called The Horse and his Boy. The book is about a boy named Shasta who grows up as a slave in a huge empire called Calormene. One day, he runs away with a Talking Horse of Narnia named Bree. Narnia is a country where there are Dwarfs, Satyrs, Centaurs, and animals can talk. Along the way, he joins up with a young noble girl named Aravis and her Talking Horse, Hwin. They travel due North until they have to go through the capital city of Tashbaan. Aravis and Shasta get lost in the city. Aravis overhears the emperor (Tisroc) planning to lead an army against the Northern countries of Narnia and Archenland. The story unfolds into a desperate race to beat the army to the North and warn the King of Archenland. The protagonists are Shasta, Aravis, Bree, Hwin, King Edmund of Narnia, Queens Lucy and Susan of Narnia, and Prince Corin of Archenland. The antagonists are the Tisroc, Prince Rabadash, and the Calormene people. There was no cover to the book when I read it because I read in a book that had all the Chronicles of Narnia in it. I recommend this book to anybody who likes fantasy and or Christian-based books. ( )

The story's pretty good, apart from the DOES THIS REMIND YOU OF ANYTHING Calormenes. ( )

I remember this one being my least favorite of The Chronicles of Narnia series. However, it was still humorous and a pleasure to read, and at the time it gave me another reason to lock myself away for a day. ( )
