The Last Battle (C.S. Lewis)


Eustace and Jill- heroes of the previous book (The Silver Chair)- find themselves back in Narnia at a most dreadful time.  A false Aslan is at work, deceiving and enslaving true Narnians, and good King Tirian has been taken prisoner.  The children are able to free him, but soon find themselves in a fight against incredible odds.  Narnia's last days may be upon them all . . . who can survive such terrible times?

The final book in the Chronicles of Narnia, The Last Battle is an allegory for the end times and the new Earth as described in the Bible.  The tale is told well, weaves everything together nicely (incorporating characters from all seven books), and a fitting end to the saga.  Or is it just the beginning?

Rating: A
