Not as engaging as the other books with the Pevensies. But Eustace and Jill were good characters and had a good adventure in the name of Aslan.

I liked the quest of having to find Prince Rillian (lost son of King Caspian, the Caspian we know).

For a while, this was my favorite of the Narnia books, but it has not aged well for me. Putting aside (or trying rather desperately to put aside) Lewis' religious views, the plot of The Silver Chair ends up being rather disappointing. I love the underground city and Rilian's enchantment, and I adore Puddleglum, but Eustace and Jill don't really do anything. One wonders why they're even there.

Still: Puddleglum rocks.

(Side note: This is NOT book six. It is book four. Stop re-ordering these books, my childhood has been messed with enough!)

This one got REALLY preachy so much so that it almost completely destroyed any enjoyment I might have gotten out of the fantasy environment. It seems the more of these books he wrote, he forgot exactly HOW to write.
