C.S. Lewis' Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The problem with series books is that once you start, you can't stop! What's been interesting to me on this umpteenth rereading is that, as much as everyone talks about the Christological aspects of Aslan in the first and last books, it's also really evident in this third one, though in a much subtler way. (Of course, as a nice Jewish girl-child reading these, I never noticed any of it--Lewis does a great job of weaving it into the story while still making all the kids and princes and animals totally riveting.)
I didn't have any trouble stopping after the third book. I can't fully remember why, though.
ReplyDeleteBecause that's when the original kids aren't in the picture anymore? (Till the last one where--spoiler alert!--everyone dies and goes to Heaven.)
