Summary from Goodreads

A prince imprisoned–a country in peril. Narnia … where giants wreak havoc … where evil weaves a spell … where enchantment rules. Through dangers untold and caverns deep and dark, a noble band of friends are sent to rescue a prince held captive. But their mission to Underland brings them face-to-face with an evil more beautiful and more deadly than they ever expected.

My Thoughts

Before reading The Silver Chair, I had heard mixed reviews. So, I was a little skeptical as to whether I’d like the story, especially with Eustace being one of the main characters. However, I quite enjoyed the book, even though there was quite a bit of screaming (on my part) at the characters because they didn’t see the obvious signs until later in the book. ;) Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia is still my favorite of the series, so far, but the adventures in this story were fun and it was fun to meet the new characters (e.g. Puddleglum and Prince Rillian) introduced in this book.

I’m very excited to be so close to finishing the series and I can’t wait until I finish reading The Last Battle. It will be especially exciting to find out how the chronicles end and to see how Lucy, Edmund, and Peter find their way back to Narnia, even though Aslan told them they were too old to come back in previous books. :D
