Lewis spent pages describing how someone walks through the woods so a bit more context on a part like really isn't asked too much.
However, there were also some instances where it all was too easy. There was no fight, no real trouble. Another example: The kids need to get the apple. Well, the go in and out, change a few words with Jadis and everybody lives happy ever after.
For some reason this gave me the impression that Lewis only had a few ideas in mind when he came up this book, ending with a half-done plot that feels rather thin all the way through.
It's nice to have a bit of info on how Narnia came to be and where Jadis came from, but if you start with something like this, you need to do it properly. I have to say, I wasn't too impressed with this book.
