Summary: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Comment: This story is about Eudmund, Lucy, their cousin Eustace, Caspain, and their journey to find the 7 Lords that Miraz banished from Narnia. They go across The Great Western Sea, past the Silver Sea, and to what they think is Aslan's contry and the End of the world. They also meet two stars. this is the 5th Narnia book and one of the best.
Rating: 3
Summary: Terra Incognita
Comment: Although the third volume written by Lewis, "Dawn Treader" falls fifth in the Narnian chronology. It can be thought of as a melding of the Quest/Cruscade theme (from the Horse and His Boy) with many of the characters from Prince Caspian.
Like in the Horse and His Boy, we have here an adventure that takes place amongst non-believers outside the Kingdom of God (Narnia). Here however the protagonists are actively seeking adventure while cruscading outside the realm. Their many adventures include abolishing slavery, freeing the invisible Dufflepuds from their 'medieval' enchantment, as well as more metaphorical visits to golden ponds, the isle of dreams, and dragon-infested lands. By the end of the book, the travellers have finally reached the boundary between heaven and earth; who will turn back and who will go on?
Despite the fact that this book included several adventures and was written for somewhat older children than some of the earlier offerings, I found this book to be somewhat slow going. Perhaps the already-noted episodic nature of the tales is to blame; somehow the religious and moral messages were not as compelling here, and Reepicheep was the only really fresh character in the bunch.
Nevertheless, this will be a good read for young and old alike who are looking to continue their Narnian adventure. (3.5 stars)

Summary: A strong entry in the series
Comment: The third book in the Narnia series, like with the expanding Harry Potter series, shows our heroes maturing as they return once again to Narnia to help Caspian find the seven lords of Narnia. I never bought into the whole Christian allegory. It's there, but I never felt it was beaten over the head of the reader the way some people feel. The story drags on occcasion, but when it picks up speed, it's a great ride. If you enjoy Harry Potter, read this series which is much an inspiration as J.R.R. Tolkien.
