The titanic themes of the Narnia series are brought together and woven into a thrilling and highly original final book. In fact, the book to end all books, and the end of the world for Narnia. Tightly plotted, and the appropriately the darkest but also the most joyful of the Narnia series, I recommend that the previous six are enjoyed before the final book is tackled. The most challenging and frightening of the classic seven: a master shows how it should be done. This book won the Carnegie Medal when released. | ||
