The Sliver Chair by C.S. Lewis is a magical book full of mythical creatures, new journeys, and exploring the underworld of Earth.
This Incredible fantasy book is about courage and bravery. The two protagonists Jill and Eustace, are just two normal kids at school, but when they start getting chased by the bullies at school, they run to a big green bush with a door; they decide to go through, and that’s where the adventure begins. They meet Aslan, a great Lion who can talk, who gives them a mission to accomplish. “Save Prince Rillian and defeat the white witch” (the antagonist). Throughout their journey, they meet different creatures. One of the other main characters is Puddlegum. They meet him on their way to the castle to save the prince, and then Puddlegum then joins them on their quest.
The Silver Chair is a book that I enjoyed very much. I feel all of the characters feelings inside me, and every chapter you are able to picture the scene. I see every characters side, they are all different, and that makes it even more catching. I enjoy reading fantasy novels, so I can see imagination that authors use, and so I could follow their footsteps and maybe create a wonderful fantasy of my own.
The two protagonists Jill and Eustace are two very smart children who go through some big adventures to help the kingdom. Apparently Eustace had already been to Narnia before, but Jill didn’t believe him; but when they both got into Narnia, she was wrong. Eustace is very brave, he has a lot of courage to do what is needed, and he’s a true friend to Jill. I think Eustace is very fierce, will do anything that Aslan will ask, and that is a very generous, affable person. Jill is a smart girl who has a good memory, and I know this since she remembered four detailed tasks Aslan had told her to do. I think Jill is very responsible; she as well will do anything that needs to be done.
Problems struck near the end when the underworld is falling apart, and Eustace, Jill, Puddlegum and Prince Rillian must find a way out safely and find Prince Caspian. They go through a difficult situation including fire, storms and floods. It’s up to the four of them to make their way through the witches’ kingdom, and get to safety.
Overall, I think this is a very entertaining, adventurous book. This is actually the first book of the Chronicles of Narnia that I’ve read. I don’t think I’ve read any other books by C.S. Lewis, but after reading this book, I think I’m going to have to read some more. So if anyone is looking for a beautiful, adventurous, thrilling fantasy book, then I would recommend you read not just this one… but ALL of the Chronicles of Narnia Books.
