Title: The Last Battle
Series: The Chronicles of Narnia - 7th and final book
Author: C.S. Lewis
Read Before: yes
My Comments: Coming into a Narnia book, you’d expect a lot of things, things that are very imaginative and unique, that are what makes the series such a special one. However, for most of the book, and the major plot, it didn't seem as artistic. It gave off a really grim feel and tone. I liked the appearance of Tash, which was unexpected, but very interesting. The ending was the major highlight of the book; it gave such a huge contrast to what came before it, that it was pretty much night and day. The ending relayed the end of the world, and how it came to be, and then it offered an explanation. That explanation was so fitting, that it seemed everything suddenly slotted into place. It is such a happy ending that you could not help but smile and *feel* good. As usual, I find some of the attitude of the characters surprising. Nevertheless, this is the pinnacle of classic stories.
Rating: 6.5/10
