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. But because of their influence, their precision, their quality, and my own specific sentimental value…well, I just can’t do otherwise. The other thing is: I am not a Christian and I used to be. […]
