Book 3 in The Chronicles was an entertaining adventure with C.S. Lewis' typical prose and style featuring many of the same characters from Book 2, including Aslan, Edmund, and Lucy.

I just got you comment on my blog about the polygamy book. It's a historical fiction novel written by a good friend of mine. It's not the best book ever, but an easy and interesting read. He has written other church fiction as well. Thanks for the comment!
