The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader

Avarni B

Every morning a bird  brings me a fire-berry from the valleys in the Sun, and each fire-berry takes away a little of my  age. And when I have become as young as the child that was born yesterday, then I shall take my rising again (for we are at earth's eastern rim) and once more tread the great dance

"In our world," said Eustace, "a star is a huge ball of flaming gas." "Even in your world, my son, that is not what a star is but only what it is made of."

When the Pevensie children had returned to Narnia it was (for the Narnians) as if King Arthur came back to Britain, as some people say he will. And I say the sooner the better.

Lucy and Edmund, accompanied by their peevish cousin Eustace, sail to the land of Narnia where Eustace is temporarily transformed into a green dragon because of his selfish behavior and skepticism.

Heck I love this one! I'm a huge fan of exploration adventures like this one, but then as a bonus (?), it made me almost-cry a few times. There's an incredible amount to unpack here if you're in it for the Christian Fiction aspect (holy wow is there a lot). Even if you're reading for other reasons, we get to see Edmund and Lucy, and Caspian again, and of course everyone's ABSOLUTE FAVE Reepicheep. What a legend.

There's so much more to be said, but I have no idea where to begin right now. I need to think on this one.

tbh the colonialism really jumped out in this one 😳

This has a lot more going on than in the other books, I think? Do I say to that every Narnia book? It's also really sad because this is where The Pevensies truly say goodbye to Narnia. That plot twist would have probably took me by surprise if I haven't seen the movie first.

C.S. Lewis

C. S. Lewis was a British author, lay theologian, and contemporary of J.R.R. Tolkien. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader is the third book in The Chronicles of Narnia series of seven books.

Again, really love this series and these are all great stories. This book (again on audiobook) was slightly less interesting to me than the earlier books and while there were great ideas in the book, the plot seemed less clear to follow and I lost track of things for a little while a few times(this may have been because of my not listening for short periods when people are trying to talk to me while listening to this—that gets on my nerves after a while); however, the imagery in all of these books—and especially in this book— was AMAZING and magical and SO VIVID. This is why I consider bumping these books up to a higher star rating, but I’ll just stick with this for now. Another great installment to a great series that I eagerly continue.

Meagan Fischer 

One of the most fun books in the series. Stopping at all the different islands and having adventures in each is a pleasant way to tell a story.

Jonathan Tysick

Fun. Reepicheep is more (somewhat endearingly) annoying than I remember and Aslan is more terrifyingly beautiful than ever. While this book lacks a build up compared to others in the series, it's still worth the read.

Arun Khanna

I'm pretty fond of this book. I actually really enjoyed reading about Eustace's redemption arc and it is impossible to not love Reepicheep.

Todd Luallen

Probably my favorite of all the Chronicles of Narnia. I love the various adventures, and the ending is superb.

Rick Dobrowolski

Not my favorite of the chronicles of narnia, but also not my least favorite. It just doesn't hold up to "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe."

Stephanie Joseph

Honestly, the book is better than the movie. I’ll miss Lucy and Edmund. The Pevensies were my favorite characters. In a way, they’re relatable. 
I hope the new characters introduced in the next few books will hopefully, if not replace them, will be reminiscent of their time there. 

Rating: 4.5/5

Liv Strefford

While it is definitely the worst film, this is probably one of the best books in the series

Wie in den anderen Narnia-Büchern versteht C. S. Lewis auf eine bezaubernde Art eine sehr komplexe Handlung zu komprimieren und dennoch so viele Details zu beschreiben, dass man sich alles gut ausmalen kann.
Ich hätte sehr gerne noch mehr Hintergründe gehabt und mehr Geschichten zu den einzelnen Personen oder Orten, aber das ist leider ein vergeblicher Wunsch.
Wenn man dieses Buch mit dem dazugehörigen Film vergleicht fallen eine Menge Unterschiede auf, beide sind jedoch für sich alleine sehr gut, aber ich empfehle nicht nur den Film zu sehen!

Yet another delightful Narnia book! I really can't say which one I like best so far, I've enjoyed them all very much:) Since I couldn't make up my mind as to the reading order for these books, I've decided to be very evil indeed and read them in whatever order they came along, and I'm loving it!

Read for a college english class. Very good story in my opinion. Not just childrens books. Sure it's a simple read, but also a classic. I think everyone should read the Chronicles of Naria.

3 stars 
I enjoyed this installment of the series though it is not as good as the last one and not even close to The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

I wished this one had more Edmund. It felt like he and Lucy were left to the background and it was mostly Caspian's story.

Sophia De La Garza

4 Stars. 
While I enjoyed this installment of the Chronicles of Narnia, some parts dragged a little bit thus my giving it 4 stars instead of 5. I'm super excited to read the last two books in this!

Sunyi Dean

C hated it. We abandoned to read Roald Dahl.

Jessica Williamson

Much MUCH better than the previous book! This one actually had a plot and was interesting. I learned the moral of the story and everything =) On to the next!

Aksara Alpha

It’s so fun to finally read the story, after the movie.. Know more detail about Aslan himself, and somehow the journey is quite reasonable for the children 😅 I personally really enjoyed the book!

Nathan Griffin

With the exception of Til We Have Faces, I dont really love C.S. Lewis' fiction. Even keeping in mind that Chronicles of Narnia are aimed towards kids, I haven't really loved them. This one was really good though!
