I've only read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe about a decade ago but I barely remember anything. I just realised I finally completed my collection of Narnia so I looked up the reading order and saw that there were two ways to read it; according to publication dates or chronological order. I asked around and most of them said to go by chronological order, in which I did today. 

This book was constantly surprising me. It was funny and sometimes I'd laugh out loud. The characters were terrible and they did not show any fear when it came to speaking their minds or doing whatever they wanted. It felt almost refreshing to read about unpredictable and misbehaved people in such a clear way. 

I enjoyed this quite a lot and I'm excited to continue with the series.
