One of the questions I think is being asked the most in the world of fantasy is: "Why does so much of it suck nowadays?" If it's not the same, formulaic plots and tropes we've gotten a million times before, it's just the most depraved smut you've ever read all aimed at women. What gives?... Continue Reading →
News: Female Aslan?
I wanted to write about this a few months ago when it was first announced that Greta Gerwig was planning to cast Meryl Streep as Aslan in her new version of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia. However, back then it was just rumors, and no one knew for sure if all the hype was actually... Continue Reading →
Review: I Have Some Thoughts About C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce.
Aaaanndd...once again it's time to do a review about a book I was required to read for school this year. Having only five weeks of school left before summer break, the books required for my British Literature class seem to be ending with a bang. Most recently, I finished C.S. Lewis' The Great Divorce, which,... Continue Reading →
Blog: How to Fix Your Narcissistic Character: Orual From Till We Have Faces (Spoilers).
Till We Have Faces is probably one of C.S. Lewis' lesser-known works. When I first saw the book when I was checking off the list of books that I had for my 8th grade year, I had had no idea that it even existed. Then I read the description of the book and became very... Continue Reading →
Review: The Silver Chair and The Last Battle. Things Start Getting Whacky. (Spoilers)
The Silver Chair and The Last Battle are the last two books in the Chronicles of Narnia series and as implied in the title of this review, they are the whackiest books in the series, not because of the characters or the adventure, but rather because of the theology that was presented. While they are... Continue Reading →
Review: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Sinks the Movie. (Spoilers)
I’m pretty sure that when Disney was adapting the Chronicles of Narnia movies, their main goal was to milk the adventures of the Pevensies for all they were worth. The reason why I say this is because while Disney could’ve gone in chronological order (which I think maybe would’ve been the better and possibly more... Continue Reading →
Review: Prince Caspian vs The Movie. Make Narnia Great Again.
As with my review of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, since Prince Caspian was adapted into a movie by Disney, I have to give both the book and movie a review. While I will admit that the Prince Caspian is my favorite adaptation because it seems more serious than the first movie, it... Continue Reading →
Review: The Horse and His Boy. Horse Theft is Okay as Long as They Can Talk. (Spoilers)
I've actually read The Horse and His Boy three times; first when I originally read (or tried to read) The Chronicles of Narnia, second when I was in 4th or 5th grade, and finally when I was reading it to do this review and catch up on Narnia lore. While The Horse and His Boy... Continue Reading →
Review: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe vs. the Movie (Spoilers)
In my quest to catch up on The Chronicles of Narnia series because Greta Gerwig is coming like the White Witch to destroy it and turn it into her own icy, feminist wonderland, I re-read the book and watched the original movie that came out in 2008 to see how well they stood together. Thankfully,... Continue Reading →
