Fantasy
The Horse and His Boy, a 241-paged fantasy by C.S. Lewis, tells the story of Shasta, the adopted son of a poor fisherman in Calormen, a Talking Horse named Bree, a Tarkheena named Aravis, and a Talking Horse named Hwin. Shasta and Bree are running away to the Northern land of Narnia. On the way, they meet Aravis, a Tarkheena who is betrothed to a man against her will, and her Talking Horse, Hwin. They decide to travel together, so that they would be able to get through the city of Tashbaan unnoticed by anyone who could capture them. But it becomes more than that when Aravis hears a conversation about an evil plan between the Tisroc and his son to capture the beautiful Queen Susan, and Shasta runs into the Narnian lords who think that he’s the Prince Corin. It’s a race against time for the group to get to Archenland before Prince Rabadash’s army, and save the kingdom of Narnia from Prince Rabadash’s clutches. I would give this book an 8 because the plot and characters are very detailed, and the way the author describes everything that’s going on makes the story easy to read and understand. What I would change about the story is Prince Rabadash’s selfish ways. He always thinks of himself before anyone else.
