The Horse and His Boy (1954)

Mi primera saga, recuerdo que me gustó mucho con su mágica temática y lazo entre los libros. ( )

Imagine my horror when I read this once familiar story in e-book form, and stopped reading when Aslan was saying 'myself' to poor Shasta. The problem of evil has never been more apparent in any book.

C.S. Lewis has always been disingenuous about his Narnia books, imparting the sugar coated dishonesties about the Creation of Narnia, implying in other books that the worst should fall on Aslan's tawny shoulders.

Forget about all of the previous grievances. Forget the implied racism. This book is boring. Every talking character is. More rubbish being spouted each page. By the way, I do think, unlike Lewis, that Cor is a far worse name than Shasta. ( )

The Boy tells me this is his favorite of the series, but acknowledges he may change his mind after we finish the next one. I love the good doctrine entwined in this text, and always find new treasures, no matter how many times I read them. ( )

Narnia . . . where horses talk . . . where treachery is brewing . . . where destiny awaits.

On a desperate journey, two runaways meet and join forces. Though they are only looking to escape their harsh and narrow lives, they soon find themselves at the center of a terrible battle. It is a battle that will decide their fate and the fate of Narnia itself. ( )

So much casual racism...
If you ignore that (and I get why people can't, and shouldn't have to) its a fun story.

And some sexism thrown in too, lets not forget. ( )
