My Review of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I have to acknowledge the historical significance of this book, as it marks the inception of the entire Chronicles of Narnia series. Although it's the second book in the series chronologically, it was actually the first to be written and it set the tone for the entire epic saga. I genuinely appreciate the foundation this book established for my beloved childhood series.

That said, even though I own the complete seven-book collection and hold fond memories of these stories, I must admit that I didn't particularly enjoy revisiting this one. When ranking the seven books, I'd place this one second to last. After my initial reading, I found myself returning to other volumes like 'The Magician's Nephew,' 'The Horse and His Boy,' 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader,' 'The Silver Chair,' and 'The Last Battle' simply because I enjoyed them. On the other hand, I only felt a sense of duty when rereading 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.' It's not a bad book by any means, but it doesn't quite reach the same level of enjoyment for me as the others in the series.
