The narnia books have been part of me since childhood. My mom read them to me as bedtime stories. Unless I'm completely missremember this... Either way

We had three of the book The witch, the lion and the wardrobe. The horse and his boy. Prince Caspian. Images below and yes these are the same ones from my childhood.

I did actually also read the rest later. Sorta recently I actually finished the last book and felt a little dissapointed over the ending. Oh well. That does not disregard my feeling for the books.

Tho, the horse and his boy I felt was always the weakest in the series and feels a little disconnected. Yes it is about warning Peter about Calormen but still.

I've read them a couple of times.

Yeah, The Horse and His Boy is tangential and you don't really have to read it at all but it's an okay read.

The whole thing's a Christian allegory so it ends with an apocalypse. It's a weird ending but still a great series.

No not that. I mean the actual ending of the Last Battle. It's anticlimactic. Is what I really mean.
And I am aware about the christian allegory. Wasent fully aware of it being the book of revelation. Im guessing here of course.

The ending is that all but Susan are in the ultimate Narnia, right?

When I read it that was not on my mind.  But it would make sense since she's the one who been closest to Aslan (Jesus) you know what I mean. And probably represent inoccence and being a good christian. Or something like that. Um I just relized I never actually read fully to the end of Last Battle. Wops. I to check in my book and saw that I had my bookmark still there. And remembered that I have yet to read all of the ending. Will correct that. Probably...

Oh sorry. You should finish it.

Spoiler

The end is basically they're all together in the perfect world after the apocalypse. It's kind of an ultimate perfect Narnia.

 

The dwarves don't get to go because they rejected Aslan AKA God. Susan doesn't get to go either because she grew up too much and came to believe Narnia was just a game they played, essentially a metaphor for rejecting God too. So yeah, she's in hell at the end.
