June Book Haul #4

I finished reading "The Chronicles of Narnia"! And it is definitely one of those series that you have to read once in your lifetime either as a kid, a grownup or to your children or grandchildren.

Sadly, in June I was able to read the last 2 remaining books of the Chronicles, but I highly recommend them. And now lets proceed by saying a few words about them.

The Magicians nephew is the 6th book based on the publishing order or the 1st book if you would like to read the series in chronological order. The main characters are Digory and Poly. Digory is the professor that we all know and love from the first movie, in whose house Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter stayed when they discovered Narnia. Basically, in this particular volume, we learn about the Which - and why she ends up being so bitter and wanting to rule over Narnia, we meet Aslan for the first time and see how he creates the magical land and how he gives the animals the gift of speaking. This is one very important book, because it teaches you a lot about Narnia's beginnings.

In "The last battle" we are reunited with Jill and Eustace, the heroes of "The Silver Chair". There are many rumors concerning Aslan, but what the Narnians do not know is that the Aslan that gives them order to kill the trees and to make slaves out of the talking animals is only a donkey dressed in a Lions fur, who is ordered by a Monkey. In the end everything we used to know about Narnia will end and the true Narnia will arise, and all of our heroes from the first book will return and remain there, with one exception. This last book raised a lot of contrary opinions. All I have to say is that I understand why this book had to end the way it ended, considering it is a Christian allegory.

I can say that the last book was special, it had it's twists and turns, and in the end things happened the way they were supposed to.

I really do hope more people will start reading this Chronicles and have fun and go on adventures together with the characters.

Because of the lack of books mentioned in my last book hauls, I will make another post about the ways in which you can read the Chronicles of Narnia.

Keep reading!
