it's time to downgrade an old classic,
Reading it with my girl was kinda a chore because BOTH of us thought the story dragged, And if a sixyearold can pick out the ickiness of caricature Arab cultures and find it distasteful without any kind of reaction from her daddy, then it MIGHT be a bit bad.
Sure, sure, talking horses and missing princesses and princes and an adventure/quest OUGHT to be great fun, but the pacing is weird with lots of talking about events that just happened offstage and with some anticlimactic lion cameos here and there, I had a distinct impression that I was being railroaded down a recently blown MORAL TUNNEL.
And then, what about the great battle at the end of this
Yeah, let's have a daft old hermit call the highlights like a senile sportscaster who gets bored halfway through the telling to go inside to take a dump or something.
GREAT STORYTELLING, LEWIS,
And in the meantime, after the twentieth time, my daughter said, "I'm bored, . . " I woke her up at the end, She hugged me and said, "Daddy Please, No more. "
"No more, daughter, No more. " To the south of Narnia lays a vast desert, and beyond that the Calormen Empire obviously based on the Middle Eastern Muslim world.
Deep within Calormen the bedraggled and misused Thasta the 'son' of a fisherman, and Aravis, who is due to be forced into a terrible arranged marriage find themselves unlikely travel companions, on the road to the fabled in their country Narnia they get caught up in a big Narnian adventure!
This book, the fifth published, but third chronologically, is set during the reign of the Pevensies as briefly referred to in sitelinkThe Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and is a fullout classic fairy tale adventure with a long journey, an 'evil' empire, kings, queens, battles, giants and more, as well as your Narnian talking animals and fabled creatures.
Although it doesn't particularly sit well with the other tales, it is one of the biggest reality building stories as there is so much detail about life in the Narnian reality, especially its neighbours.
Fab readout of.

تاریخ بهنگام رسانی هجری خورشیدی هجری خورشیدی ا. شربیانی Don't shoot me but probably my favorite Narnia, Love Corin/Have I mentioned how much I love these books recently
And Aravis is just like me, In all the wrong ways, This is probably my favorite of the Chronicles, It takes place during the Golden Age of Narnia, with the Pevensies reigning in their prime, although the story is actually set in the countries to the south of Narnia, which provides for a rather different feel to much of this novel.
I always find the visual imagery captivating: riding across the moors at night, entering the towering city of Tashban, spending a night among the tombs of the ancient kings.
Okay am I the only one who noticed that the Calormen is pronounced colormen in the audiobook And that they are all darkskinned I think Lewis has something to answer for.

sitelinkYouTube sitelinkBlog sitelinkInstagram sitelinkTwitter sitelinkFacebook Snapchat mirandareads sitelinkThe Horse and His Boy is my least favorite book in the series.
So far, I have really enjoyed this series but this book reads like something else entirely, I think one of the main reasons is because Pevensie siblings are barely there, For some reason, I associate this series with the Pevensie siblings,
The story was not bad but like other people, I too felt that there were racial slurs in this book that even my younger self couldn't look past.
In the past, I chose not to look at the way the female characters were portrayed but along with racial slurs like turbanwearing and darkskinned
terms it was too much.
Way too much to put me off this book,
This was my third journey into Narnia, as I have been reading these books in chronological order.
I read these books as a child, and if I remember rightly, I enjoyed this particular book better back then.
The magic was completely non existent in this book, in comparison to the previous book, at least, It was bland, tiresome in parts, and completely full of prejudice, The racism within this story bothered me a lot, and I suppose it ruined the story for me, in a way.
I liked that previous characters made an appearance in this, as it was interesting to see how they had progressed, but overall, this was a disappointing read.
