The Chronicles of Narnia, The Last Battle, C.S. Lewis

I am about to finish The Chronicles of Narnia, The Last Battle, by C.S. Lewis. It is incredible. I read the entire series when I was in fourth and fifth grades and I loved it, but I don’t think I even caught the (incredibly obvious) Christian undertones. This one is about the end times. The image that struck me the most was when Aslan calls the beasts to him and each looks into his face. If they are good, they go to his right and enter through the gates of Paradise. If they are bad, they go to his left and disappear into his shadow never to be seen again. I also enjoyed the end of the world. Father Time awakens and blows his horn, and everything begins to melt away. The stars fall out of the sky to stand behind Aslan; the dragons and giant lizards destroy the forest and the lands; a massive ocean swallows up the earth. If freezes, and the world ends. Powerful. C. S. Lewis is a mastermind. I love his books.
