The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
FINALLY A Narnia book I know very little of.
I remember the painting and the ship and that’s it. So I was excited to dive into this one. Edmund and Lucy are staying with their horrid cousin, Eustace for the holidays. I don’t think I’m the type of person to hurt a kid but gosh, I really wanted to punch Eustace. He annoyed me so so much. Take every adult trait I hate and put it in one snotty kid and that’s Eustace. Know-it-all, snobby and no imagination whatsoever (that last part bugs me because despite his lack of imagination Eustace ends up in Narnia and it’s clear that he and Narnia are NOT a fit!).
When Eustace, Edmund and Lucy end up back in Narnia, they end up on the Dawn Treader, Prince Caspian’s ship.
Prince Caspian is on a journey to find the seven lords- nobleman who supported his father and who his uncle banished. Thing is, it’s been a looong time and these lords could be dead.
(I feel like Caspian just wanted to get out on the sea for fun but okay).
I think this might have been my favourite book in the series. There was always so much happening and it was so entertaining. I couldn’t get through it fast enough.
I’ve reached the stage where it feels like Narnia is my home and it’s really going to hurt me to move on from this series.
