The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (The Chronicles of Narnia, #2) (Narnia)

by C. S. Lewis

[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

This installment in the series has always been very nostalgic for me as this was the book I read the most growing up, so has a special in my heart.

Lucy, is such a bad ass (yes you saw correctly) despite Peter being "High King" and all Lucy is the one with the truest heart and spirit she was the first one to get through the wardrobe after all and to recognize the White Witch was foul, never backing down for what she knows is right. Edmund is the character you love to hate and thought of him as a juvenile delinquent, he did lie about coming to Narnia and ran away from The Beaver's home after all. The White Queen is like his drug dealer putting him under a paranoid hang-over always conspiring on how to get his next fix. Peter and Susan are like the two surrogate parents in the show, being the voice of reason, only coming second to Aslan. Speaking of Aslan, he is looked upon as a second coming he is suppose to represent Christ in the series but I'm comparing him to President Obama, hope and change we can believe in -- yes we can!

This book makes me long for a cup of hot cocoa and a cozy corner, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe can turn my 26 year old heart into that of a 6 year old's in a second, there is something truly magical about that.
