This is not my favorite of the Chronicles of Narnia books. Interestingly, I think it is better developed than the previous ones I've read, but I don't really find Shasta to be a compelling character.

Ugh. Boring and weirdly discriminatory.

It has some racist tones as expected since the book was originally published in the 1950s. Overall, it wasn't that bad, and I'm glad it had the Pevensies in the book during their reign.

I found this story a little hard to get into. Not sure if it's because you don't read much about Peter, Susan, Edmond and Lucy who you got to know so well in the last book!

Two runaways travel together to escape troubles in their lives. They join with talking horses and discover a plot to go to war with Narnia, and they race to expose the plot before it is too late.

Not the greatest book in “The Chronicles of Narnia”, but still worth reading to my son.

The Chronicles of Narnia series was another one of my likable books reading growing up. I read through this entire series in one month and definitely liked it. There were many things that definitely dragged on about these but overall I liked it but wouldn't say I'm a die hard fan.

Berbeda dgn buku2 terdahulu, di buku bertempat seluruhnya di Narnia, tanpa portal ajaib atau perjalanan antar dunia. Spt review buku sblmnya, rasanya kok kurang gmn gitu tanpa cerita kakak beradik Pavensie. Karena ini masuk kategori children book pastinya berkahir dgn happily ever after.
