Once again, some seriously amazing cover art with this Narnia book series. It's the best. I read these books a while ago and remember looking forward quite a bit to this one because it is about the creation of Narnia. It's pretty interesting overall but still didn't meet my level of expectations for whatever reason.
And since this book is about Aslan's creation of Narnia, as well as some stuff during the interval between creation and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, it is slotted as Book 1 in the chronological book publications. I'm more of a fan of the order of original publication style. Mainly because I think reading this story first robs some of the excitement away from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe as Lucy discovers an unknown land.
All in all, this book was alright and ranks probably just above The Horse and His Boy.
