Beyond the Edge of the Horizon

Today I just finished The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis, the third book I’ve read in The Chronicles of Narnia Series. If you want to see the other two reviews the first is here and the second is here.

TVotDT sees Edmund and Lucy making another journey to Narnia, along with their cousin Eustace. They arrive at the ship Dawn Treader and accompany King Caspian and crew on a journey eastward.

Actually I found this to be right behind The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe in entertainment value. However, I think it surpasses it as a story full of lessons and insights that parents and children can talk about and share. It’s definitely a more advanced book with more advanced thoughts. It requires more leaps of logic to follow the hints of action, hence the recommendation of parents reading it with their children. Each of the islands and tests gives interesting lessons about life, but it also makes the story more formulaic. That is both beneficial and detrimental, making it different from the other stories. And now I’ll head on to the next in the series.
