The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (adult)
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (adult) | C. S. Lewis
146 posts | 465 read | 3 reading | 48 to read
There are a thousand stories in the land of Narnia, and the first is about to be told in an extraordinary motion picture, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, from Walt Disney Pictures and Walden Media. In the never-ending war between good and evil, The Chronicles of Narnia set the stage for battles of epic proportions. Some take place in vast fields, where the forces of light and darkness clash. But other battles occur within the small chambers of the heart and are equally decisive. Journeys to the ends of the world, fantastic creatures, betrayals, heroic deeds and friendships won and lost -- all come together in an unforgettable world of magic. So take a voyage into the unknown. The fifth volume in The Chronicles of Narnia The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Narnia ... where a dragon awakens ... where stars walk the earth ... where anything can happen. A king and some unexpected companions embark on a voyage that will take them beyond all known lands. As they sail farther and farther from charted waters, they discover that their quest is more than they imagined and that the world's end is only the beginning.

I didn't particularly like or hate this one. This had the skeleton of a good nautical story in there but a lot of it felt unpolished. Lewis drew from Homeric influences as well as Norse and Irish mythology and folklore, so that was interesting.

I have to keep telling myself that this is children's lit, and not judge the lack of... everything too harshly, but then The Hobbit exists. but I digress. It just doesn't have that “ummph“ moment.

📚Currently reading:

🎧Lud in the Mist
🎧Rise of the King
🎧Dawn Treader

Progress:
Really needed to catch up on my reading goal so I started the Narnia books and have been getting through one of them a day. Hoping to finish Dawn Treader later today. Lud has been a delight to read through and i'll get back to Drizzt novels after Narnia in a few days. Will probably finish all of the remaining Narnia books this upcoming week.

This is my non-mystery #serieslove2024 list. There‘s no way I‘ll read all of these along with the rest of my planned reading for the year, but I definitely want to pick off a few of them. The tagged book might (or might not) be one of them. #shipsorsailing #newyearnewbooks

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick In my opinion, Dawn Treader was the last of the good books in that series. But maybe that's just me, with no nostalgia of it from childhood. As for the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series, I thought Prisoner of Heaven was better than The Angel's Game, so hoteliers you'll be delighted to carry on. I have book 4 plus the short story collection to go and hope that this year is the year I finish that series. 10mo
Susanita @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I absolutely loved The Shadow of the Wind. Angel‘s Game was memorable but not as magical as the first. I‘m looking forward to the next one in any case. 10mo

“Courage, dear heart.” In a book where everything that could go wrong does go wrong, this encouraging whisper in a moment of bleak darkness is the glimpse of light we as the reader and our hero need to hear. Written more as a collection of short adventures than a single arc, this story takes the reader on a wild ride of high and low waves. #narnia #52challenge

King Caspian sets out on a voyage to try to find the great lords banished from Narnia by his uncle and has the unexpected pleasure of the company of King Edmund, Queen Lucy, and their most irritating cousin Eustace. And off they go on the Dawn Treader to the edge of the world where Eustace has a chance to learn manners and the heroic mouse Reepicheep to prove the depth of his courage. Another enjoyable tour of the lands of Narnia and Aslan.

I‘m so happy only a year has passed since Prince Caspian‘s tale rather than a thousand or more years that passed between The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian. So we get Reepicheep the mouse in all his heroic glory! But oh how Eustace gets on my nerves. I‘m enjoying this one almost as much as the former books—I‘m waiting for Eustace to improve his behavior before I cast final judgment on this book in the series.

Is it weird that this one was my favorite jaunt through Narnia of the three I've read so far? We follow Edmund and Lucy into Narnia, this time with their insufferable cousin Eustace in tow. He's such a little shit that he's bound to have some character growth and the Pevensies and the crew of the Dawn Treader search far and wide for some of Prince Caspian's father's old friends. This book felt less heavy-handed on the religious undertones

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick and with the varying circumstances on each island, we got a plethora of adventures in one story. Our little mouse friend Reepicheep also figures prominently in this story and I love how much courage, bravery, and sass fits into his little mouse body.

Reading this as an adult I find the story moves along better than it did when I was a child. At the same time I find Reepicheep far more annoying than I did as a child. My favorite part still remains Eustace being turned into a dragon and ultimately becoming a better person. This was my #Bookspin read for the month. #BookspinBingo #NarniaReadalong

CrowCAH I agree! After I read about Eustace, I named one of my horse stuffed animals after him. 4y

149 pages. I'd say first couple of books were better. This one felt a bit long for what was told, and ending was a bit dissapointing.

A Magician has changed the look of the Duffers as he thought their original form was ugly and they are better off in their new bodies. How typical of a humankind to think we know better what suits other life forms.

I was late reading this one, but I finished just in time to start the next book today and get back on track.

This book was a lot of fun. I absolutely loved that Reepicheep was back too. 💚 I did miss the other siblings, but having Eustace and Prince Caspian helped. Although Eustace frustrated me, he still helped keep the story interesting.

TheSpineView Way to go! 👍📖 4y

I didn‘t remember a lot of this one going in, but some of the islands came back to me as they landed. I enjoyed this one, it‘s more like a Gulliver‘s Travels to unique lands (with some Christian mythology thrown in as Aslan continues to make appearances) than a specific mission. An enjoyable read as a series of mini adventures as they search uncharted lands to the east looking for the lost Lords of Caspian‘s father‘s reign.

Finished this for the Narnia read along. So far, this is my favorite of the books that I‘ve read from this series. I‘m not sure why; it just is. As someone already pointed out, there‘s no real tight plot — just Caspian looking for some missing lords from when his father was king; instead, each chapter or two is like its own little mini adventure for the crew.

CaffeineAndCandy A lot of us are loving this one! 👍😊 4y

I couldn't resist and ended up reading the last few chapters this morning to finish this reread early. What a fun adventure!! This book is a little more episodic than the first two books, but I rather enjoyed the way most chapters (or pairs) were their own mini-adventure. A delightful journey!! I'm quite looking forward to The Silver Chair, which is the one I remember the least. Thanks for hosting the #NarniaReadalong @CaffeineAndCandy !!

I thought I recalled this was one of my least favorite in prior readings of this series but I must say it‘s a favorite now. So much so that I had to keep going and finish the adventure a bit early. So thankful the #NarniaReadalong nudged me to reread this series. Can‘t wait til the next one.

Hey 👋! We start the third book in the #NarniaReadalong tomorrow. As you all know, we are reading them in publication order and not in the series order.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis, at least to the point I‘ve read so far (which is about two thirds) has been a really good read! Edmund and Lucy Pevensie are pulled into Narnia once again, this time with their cousin Eustace along for the ride. On the ship the Dawn Treader the trio is welcomed by King Caspian, Reeepicheep, as well as Drinian and his crew. (cont‘d in comments)

zona.mcglennf They join the king on his search for seven lords that served his father that went missing. On this journey they stop at many island school survive a storm and a sea serpent, someone turns into a dragon temporarily, and that‘s about where I am so far~ I‘ve loved all the books in the Chronicles of Narnia series I‘ve read so far and this is no exception! (cont‘d again) 4y
zona.mcglennf If you‘re a fan of fantasy, adventure and love to travel to new worlds, I‘d seriously recommend giving this book (and the whole series) a go at it. 9/10 so far :)) 4y

Thanks for the #Two4Tuesday tag, @QuietlyLaura !

1. 4-year-old Me desperately wanted to be Reepicheep. Adult Me still wouldn‘t mind being Reep. He was my childhood hero.

2. Lots of it, every year, as early as mid-October. I have very little patience with people who romanticize it, even though I try to remind myself that most of them live in places where snow has a very different impact on their lives.

LazyOwl Reepicheep is such a great character, great choice 4y
