i hate endings more than anything in the world.
i know that's not a hot take, but the sheer extent to which i will self-destruct / break down entirely / rain hellfire upon this earth to avoid them might be a little unique. i will undo breakups, perpetuate terrible friendships, and, worst of all, refuse to watch the final episode of TV shows. i will do anything and everything i can think of.
and that's why i only read the first two books in this series, in spite of owning (very cute!) copies of all of them.
i read that it was the two eldest kids' last time in narnia, and, as both an eldest and an avoidant, i said GOODBYE FOREVER hid the series away and moved on with my life in an attempt to avoid ever thinking about how peter and susan must feel.
look. i even remember their names. that's how traumatic this was for me.
good book, though.
this is part of a series i'm doing in which i review books i read a long time ago, revealing my psyche bit by frightening bit

Nice review, Emma! I read all the books many years ago and I loved the first two, the others not so much. :)
I loved Lion Witch and the Wardrobe the best, I did love Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I couldn't really get into the rest of them unfortunately.

A clockwork reader wrote: "I loved Lion Witch and the Wardrobe the best, I did love Prince Caspian and Voyage of the Dawn Treader, I couldn't really get into the rest of them unfortunately."good to know!!
Voyage of the Dawn Treader is great, it’s my favorite one! Magician’s Nephew is also great. Silver Chair is good, the other 2 are fairly useless

The Horse and His Boy has all four siblings together in Narnia so maybe try that one? It's one of my favourites in this series.
Spoiler: Prince Caspian is not in fact the last book to feature the character of Peter, and he does in fact return to Narnia in a later book.
