Almost as well written as the first book in the series The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe! ( )

FROM GOODREADS REVIEWS: Shasta is running away when he meets a Talking Horse named Bree. Bree and Shasta then run into another talking horse and rider pair, Hwin and Aravis. Will they gain the freedom they so desperately seek? ( )

I remembered nothing about this book from my previous reads.

I really liked this one. I liked that it was an adventure from the Golden Age of Narnia, so we actually got to see Edmund, Lucy, and Susan as acting monarchs. I find it super interesting how different the format of this story is from the others in the series, mostly because it doesn't involve pulling in assistance from the outside world. I liked this one more than the Silver Chair. Current order of favorites: Voyage of the Dawn Treader; The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe; The Horse and His Boy: Prince Caspian; The Silver Chair. ( )

Coming back to this series, I'm surprised by how much I really like it. "The Horse and His Boy" is a little parable which doesn't really connect with the rest of the Narnia series, but there's something about the imagery of this duo and their cross-country travels that really appealed to me as a child. I think it's rather lovely, really. ( )

2.5 * Glad I have read the book, but just did not engage with the story. When I have finished reading the whole series I intend to listen to a dramatised audiobook of the whole chronicles, maybe I will get more from this story then. ( )
