Author: C.S. Lewis
Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers
Pages: 105

What an adventure it's been! It took me quite a while to finish all the books. Five months. That's what you get when you have to write so many papers.

This is a great book to end any kind of chronicles with. It kind of felt like season 7 of Buffy, where everything came full circle. Where we saw old characters pop up every now and then. It's the same for this book.

It starts with an Ape named Shift and a donkey named Puzzle, who find a lion-skin. Shift gets an evil idea: he wants Puzzle to dress up as a lion and pretend to be the one and only Aslan. Puzzle doesn't think very highly of himself. He has got self-esteem issues and listens to everything Shift tells him, because he thinks Shift is smarter than he is. So he does what Shift says and that way Shift can make every Talking Beast, Dwarf and any other creature in Narnia do whatever he wants, because 'Aslan' told him to.

Meanwhile, the King of Narnia at that time Tirian wants to stop it and he gets tied to a tree. Nobody is on his side anymore. Then out of nowhere, Eustace and Jill appear before him and they untie him. He needs help to restore the situation in Narnia, for by this time the evil Calormen have joined the forces of the Evil Ape.

A big religious battle ensues that forces the inhabitants of Narnia to make a choice: serve the real Aslan or Tash, the evil god of the Calormen. Who do they believe and what will become of Narnia? Just read it.

I really liked the fact that the story ended this way. I have always been a fan of stories becoming full circle in the end. That is one thing i appreciated of Buffy and Angel and now Narnia can be added to that list as well. The story in the end is left open just a little bit for your own imagination. I enjoyed this book and I give it a 7.5/10.
