El sobrino del mago

Cuando me propuse leer Las Crónicas de Narnia, pensaba que empezaba con ‘El león, la bruja y el ropero' e iban así: en el orden de las películas, pero me sorprendí al encontrar que el primer libro en estas Crónicas era El Sobrino del Mago. La verdad que me encantó esta historia como introducción mucho más que El leon, la bruja y el ropero! Todo el tema de los anillos y los lagos que nos llevan a otros mundos me mantuvo muy interesada. La creación de Narnia fue simplemente maravillosa, y la aparición de Aslan y la bruja blanca desde sus principios me encantó. Hasta ahora leí sólo los primeros 3 y este es mi favorito, totalmente recomiendo leer esta serie!

Rating: 4.5/5 stars.

The Magician's Nephew is the story behind the story, how it all began, the beginning of everything. A kid and his new friend go into different universes, thanks to the evil work of his uncle, and find more than a few things along the way.

I am so happy that I decided to pick this book up and read it. Great decision.

This book tells the story of how it all began, the beginning of all the adventures and characters that we saw in Narnia. This book marks the beginning of something great and fantastic.

I was a little hesitant of reading this one because it wasn't really a part of the series as of what characters matters. They were different and I didn't read Narnia anywhere on the synopsis, so I wasn't sure. But then I did, and it all changed.

I had never read any of the Narnia books, but I was a fan of the movies. Which I'm glad I was, because in this book, a lot of the things that are contained in Narnia are explained. And so I felt so excited every time I understood something, and realized where it all belonged to. I think it improved my reading experience so much more.

As for characters, they were all very cute and unique, and I loved them. Well, at least the ones who were good. The two kids were great characters and they weren't portrayed as the typical lost and stupid kids that authors so like to think are true. They were smart and not lost and real, for which, I am very grateful.

I thought the world building to be exceptional, and on few words. I saw everything happening in my mind (helped with the drawings) and it was so much more enjoyable that way.

I really think you should read this book, and the rest of the Narnia series. They're good, fun, cute and enjoyable. And most important, easy to read!
