One of the best. Puddleglum is, perhaps, my favorite Narnian character of all time.

In my current reread/ first time ever actually finishing the series, The Silver Chair is the first book in the series, that I did not read as a child or know the story of by seeing an adaptation. To my somewhat surprise, I very much enjoyed this addition to the series. Although I do miss the Pevensies as well as other characters from the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as well as Prince Caspian - I really liked following Eustace and Jill on their own cool adventure through Narnia - especially s...

I started reading this with my boy ages ago, but I never got around to marking it as finished here on Goodreads.Generally speaking, I enjoyed reading him the book, and he liked hearing it. I have a nostalgia for the Narnia Chronicles, too. And that makes these books a little sweeter for me.My younger boy (age 3.5 at the time of reading) enjoyed it too. Especially some of the more action-oriented scenes, and the stuff underground.

The Silver Chair (Chronicles of Narnia, #4), C. S. LewisThe Silver Chair is a children's fantasy novel by C. S. Lewis, published by Geoffrey Bles in 1953. It was the fourth published of seven novels in The Chronicles of Narnia (1950–1956).Completed at the beginning of March 1951 and published 7 September 1953, The Silver Chair is the first Narnia book not involving the Pevensie children, focusing instead on Eustace. Several months after The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Aslan calls Eustace back to...

Ah, the strange joys of Narnia! How is a middle-aged feminist nonbeliever supposed to feel about this contradictory volume?Pro: Jill Pole is a strong, active, fun, funny, vigorous girl that any reader, male or female, will be happy to have as a protagonist. Con: Jill's old enough to be active, but young enough not to be a sexual being. Which is clearly the only reason Lewis is comfortable having her around, because:Con: Once again, Lewis only allows grown women as characters when they're scary,

Missing character depth and the funnyJill Pole and Eustace Scrubb are running from some school bullies when they find themselves in another world. However, Aslan needs their help to find Prince Rillian. What will Jill and Eustace discover on their adventure?Did you know that CS Lewis took in children after the war? They were fascinated by his wardrobe which inspired him to write The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. One good deed turned into literary legend. Must put do good deed on my To-Do Li...

With a Queen slain and King Caspian's son Prince Rinian lost for over a decade, Aslan brings Eustace and Jill to Narnia, where, with intense, but funny super-pessimistic Puddlegum, they have to face the adverse weather, hazardous terrain and unknown dwellers of the little known (in the book series) giant-dominated northern territory beyond Narnia.We've been above Narnia, we've been in Narnia, travelled the Narnian seas and fought Narnian wars, so I guess Clive Staples had little else to go, but

“You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you," said the Lion.” I am reading this series for the first time as an adult, in publication order, so this for me was book number 4. I enjoyed it just like the others, definitely not a favourite even though I love C. S. Lewis's writing and I definitely recognize the value of this series as a classic and for the role it had in the development of the genre. As for this particular book, I truly really enjoyed only the chapter of the "S...

Probably the weakest so far, but scraped 4 stars and still fun More tomorrow :)Right I have been thinking about this review all day. It was the weakest of the books so far with what felt almost like a padded out story and I was thinking it would be a 3 star read. That said i didn't bank on Puddleglum, he was the real star of the book and added enough to make me give it 4 stars.The book features the Pevensie's cousin Eustace, now a Narnian regular and a "jolly good chap" with a schoolfriend of hi...

One of my other favorite Narnia books. I honestly love all of these books so much, with the exception of Prince Caspian, so it's really hard for me to truly rank the Narnia novels.Lewis' The Silver Chair, the fourth published book in the series (and the way in which I believe the series should be read) is in many ways a very different and more grim version of the Narnia world.Eustace returns after making his debut in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, and we are introduced to a new female lead, Jil...

I can't believe it took me so long to read this one!! SO GOOD. also where is the movie

The Silver Chair is a fascinating adventure story of the Chronicles of Narnia. After my disappointment over The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I was a little apprehensive as to how I would receive it. But all my fears were groundless as the story held my interest from the first chapter. For the first time, we don't meet the Pevensies. Instead we meet Eustace, returned to Narnia with Jill Pole, a school friend of his. Although one misses Pevensies, the characters of Eustace and Jill who replace them...

Sixth narnian book with Eustace Scrubb and his school mate Jill Pole. I don't remember this one at all. I'm not even sure I read it when I was a child.Starts with a case of bulling where Lewis manages to convey his outdated viewpoints on education even in his own day which seem archaic now. After escaping the bullies into narnia the two heros Jill and Eustace are immediately task to find King Caspian lost son Rillian by Aslan. Along the way they pick up their guild a mash wiggle named Puddleglum...

Finally, a proper novel! Thank you, Mr. Lewis. Sixth time's the charm, eh?The Silver Chair is my favorite out of all the Narnia books. Not only does it have all the usual elements of this wonderful, rich fantasy world Lewis created, but the characters are better, at least in my opinion, the story feels less contrived, and it has the added benefit of being a proper novel. That is to say, it has: a) an actual plot; b) an identifiable climactic point; and c) a clear, concise denouement. For once, I...

I'm just going to give a generic opinion of the whole series.We love them.The end.Okay, so maybe I'll tell you that we read them outloud to the kids almost 2 years ago. So they were 5 going on 6 and 2. They all loved them and followed the plot and talked about the characters during their play.We're re-reading them again (now ages 8, 4 and 2) and they're loving them even more than the first time. All I hear, all day long is "For Narnia" and then they rush through the house, swords drawn. They hav...

C.S. Lewis and I are never going to see eye to eye. First, because I've yet to feel any desire to participate in a seance, and second, I prefer my manipulative (religious) propaganda to be much more subtle in nature. And yet, despite all the above, I can't help but keep coming back to these books. What can I say? The appeal of a magical world in a wardrobe is irresistible. Yes, I knooooow it's not actually inside the wardrobe, yadda yadda yadda...I loved reading about the latest developments in

PUDDLEGLUUUMMMMM. <3I forgot how much I love him. "I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia." MY SOUL IS FEELING THINGS. <333(Also, these two bits were particularly priceless. xD And in the inquiry all sorts of things about Experiment House came out, and about ten people got expelled. After that, the Head's friends saw that the Head was no use as a Head, so they made her an Inspector to interfer...

The 6th book in the Chronicles of Narnia, Eustace from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is back and this time he brings along a schoolmate, Jill Pole to adventure in Narnia. I always had the impression that this particular book was scary or the darkest of the series. Blame it on the BBC series that I saw on YTV as a kid.I thought the Queen was going to be as dark and mean as the one from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. However, I felt it was a bit boring.

I just love this series so much. No matter how many times I read it, I never get tired of it! And each time I read it, it’s like I’m discovering Narnia for the first time again. This book is one of my favourites out of the series, I love the adventures our heroes go through to save the lost prince and return him to his rightful place. It allows us a look at a different part of the world of Narnia and it truly is magical!

I'm getting a smidge frustrated that we are starting to follow the side characters from other Narnia novels. I want more Lucy! I want more Peter!YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat @miranda_reads
