The horse and his boy by C.S Lewis
Over the Christmas break, I read The Horse and his Boy by C.S Lewis. It is one of the books in the Chronicles of Narnia. I read this books because I read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe which was by the same author. This book is about a boy named Shasta who was raised by this fisherman. In the beginning of the book, Shasta hears the fisherman trying to sell him to this noble. He hears that he actually is not the fisherman's son and neither of them liked each other. Outside of the house, Shasta goes to the stable to sees the horse of the noble. Then, Shasta becomes very frightened when he saw that the horse could talk. The horse's name is Bee and he came from Narnia. He also did not like his master either so they both decided to run away to Narnia where everything was good. On their way, they meet this girl named Aravis who also had a talking horse named Hwin running away. She also running away to Narnia because she was forced to marry someone so they all started going their way to Narnia. Later in the book, Aravis is found by her noblewomen. They both go to the palace and then hears the ruler of Calormen talking about attacking Archenland and Narnia. Then, they all go to King Luke of Archenland to warn the king about this and they prepare their army and defend until the Narian army comes. In the end, they won the battle and King Luke realizes that Shasta's real name is Cor and that he has a twin brother who is the prince of Archenland. Shasta soon marries Aravis and they have a child named Ram the Great who becomes the greatest king of Archenland. Overall, this book was very good although it got confusing at some parts. I enjoyed it a lot and I am also interested in reading the other books in the series. I recommend this book to you all!!
