The Magician's Nephew (The Chronicles of Narnia, #1) by C.S. Lewis

So before I discovered Harry Potter (sigh) this used to be my very favorite fantasy series. I read and re-read several of them endlessly, including this one. But I haven’t revisited it in years and years. I don’t even remember the last time I read it. Maybe when one of the movies came out? (The movies never captured the magic for me.) Anyway, I’ve been comfort re-reading favorite fantasy books over the past year and I had the hankering to pick this one back up […]

I am not going to review of the books of the series for separate and specific ratings. Instead, I will give the whole series a rating (five stars for all kinds of reasons) which is not to say they’re all of equal quality or all great or any of them perfect.
