How Did The Last Battle Make You Feel

[Tisroc]

I just finished the last battle. It really made me feel strange like it shouldn't of finished there. The way lewis said this was thier real adventure. I want to know about that as well. The chronicles were amazing some of favorite books now. But i can't help feeling saddened knowing that there never will be another one. The Farther up and Farther in really made me feel excited, the book comeing to one amazing climax. But it never came. I am not dissapointed, the ending made me feel happy in a strange way. The way all the worlds come together. And the fact they can now all stay in the real narnia. And somehow I wished i could stay in the real narnia too... :(

I was happy about the ending, the enemy destroyed, and everyone happy and fresh in new narnia or Heaven.

I loved the book, but it was also tinged with sadness. I'm glad for C. S. Lewis that he himself is now in the New Narnia.

The last battle was both sad and wonderfull. it was sad because it was the last book, but it was wonderfull because they were in the new Narnia.
Even when i'm not there yet, i felt something of it while reading the book.
i loved the "farther up, farther in" thing and the last few sentences (about all the new chapters and stuff)

i think C. S. Lewis stopped at a great point, he didn't go too far (too many books) and he left some things to our own imagination.

The way that Peter, Edmund and Lucy met Tirian was one of the best moments in all the books (for me), i was so sad that susan didn't come back (but i have still hope for her).

The way all things worked out well, and that they met all of their friends again was great, especially for Tirian and all the ones that died during the battle, first they were desperate, and then they were perfectly happy, that was wonderfull

The Last Battle made me feel sad, because I knew Narnia was coming to an end....but then I read Magicians Nephew again, and that cheered me up, cause Narnia was only beginning! lol :D :D :p

yeah i did!!!! especially the lion the witch and the wardrobe 4 the first time cos i didnt no wot was gonna happen next.. ya know!!!!

[Crimson]

I luved the last battle!! It was my fav. book and especially since it had a good ending (except for susan, oh well it was her choice) but it was the best!! I thought that was really interesting with Shift making Puzzle be Aslan but those dwarves were sooo cruel to shoot those poor horses!!

[anna.the.gentle]

It's partly sad and wonderful. It made me feel terribly sad 'cause Susan was no longer in the picture. Wonderful 'cause, all of them ended up in Aslan's country, the Real narnia forever. But it's so hard to believe that the story ends there...

[Giselle the Ethereal]

DEPRESSED. I got depressed after reading it. It ended happily but I don't exactly know why I feel depressed. I also felt frustrated for some reason. The whole scenario was like in shambles but there was hope..but they're DEAD.

Maybe I just can't accept it. Haha. Maybe I just didn't want the series to end.

[PrinceOfTheWest]

Well, don't forget Aslan's point about it: "school is over; the holidays have begun!" They weren't so much dead as just beginning to live!

haha thats what i do too! see, if he had gone further into 'their real adventures", he would be describin gheaven and what you do in heaven. but....we dont know what we really do in heaven until we get there....

[Lady Larien]

it made me sad but happy at the same time i guess. it was sorta just a feeling i can't explain. i was sad cause Narnia had ended but i was happy cause it was kinda like a happily ever after but i was depressed for about a week so really i don't know how i felt. i also kinda felt like a burden had been lifted off of me. i know it was wierd but it helped me and hopefully it will help many others.

[aslan'sluv]

As I read The Last Battle I couldn't help but wonder if Heaven may be like that except better. I was saddened by Susan's choice because after all she was one of the first to go into Narnia. Still the book has become one of my favs out of the series! Anyway, there are many things in the other books that I loved as well, and C.S. Lewis has an amazing way of making everything so vivid in each book and the way he ties it all together is sheer genius!

[MRS._William_Moseley]

I LOVE the narnia series. But I'm particulary fond of the books, that have to do with Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. There my favorite...... :rolleyes: :p

I agree!
He makes everything vivid, But also leaves things for the imagination.
Unlike J.R.R. Tolkien who liked to describe everything in great detail.
But don't get angry...I love LOTR, TH, and The Silmarillion!
Also,
What greater an adventure than to worship the God of Ages.

cuz i was sad about something but the end of lb cheerd me up

[narnia+north]

I didn't want it to end there. I wanted to continue with the adventures. But it was a really good book. somehow, i was hoping for like an aftermath sort of book.

[Adanedhel]

The Music was so amazing, it was orgasmic (Am I allowed to use this adjective). LOL u know it was!

Note I will edit this if someone feels it is inappropriate.

[Narborg]

I still remember the feeling I had when I herd the story for the fist time. I think it was most sadnes and a bit of shock!!!

[♥AslansForgivenDaughter♥]

I just finsihed reading The Last Battle for the first time just a few minutes ago and I don't really know how to feel...when I was reading it I felt depressed at some points, happy at others and at times even a little frustrated becuase I didn't understand certain things....
for some reason it just maid me feel really depressed becuase I didn't understand most of the things that were going on.....yet at the end I felt happy becuase Aslan bassicly told them that they could stay in his country forever and for some reason that really tocuhed my heart becuase I know when we get to heaven we can be with Aslan (Jesus) forever and we won't ever have to leave his country....
but there were still other parts in the book that I didn't understand and it maid me feel really frustarted becuase I couldn't fully understand even when I really tried to....

[QueenSusanofNarnia]

I CRIED!I admit it, I cried! I even told my whole homeroom when I finsihed it.
You see, every morning in homeroom from the first time i got the CoN books to the day i finsihed LB, I brought the huge big book in. E veryone knew that I was reading CoN, and when I didn't bring it in one day, the yasked if i had finished it. I said,
"Yeah"
They asked how it was.
I burst into tears.
I was sooooo sad....i just oculdn't stand it: when ever i look at will, skandar, or georgie now, im' going to start crying b/c peter, edmund, and georgie die....:( :( :( :(
and susan is my fave character and she doesn't get back to narnia and oh i'm going to start crying now but oh no! pc is her last narnia movie (anna's) unless the don't have will and georgie and skandar do LB then it'll be will's last, also and oh i'm crying!!!

That is exactly how I felt when I finished it the first time (and all the other times). I think that is how CS Lewis wanted you to feel, though. He didn't want you to understand everything- that's what made it so great. For me it was bittersweet- the world the children loved and protected had died, the children themselves had died. Yet the one true Aslan brought them to His country where they would live forever, which was the only true, perfect country that all the others were a piece of.

it's nice to know I'm not the only one who feels that way....lol sometimes I just get so frustarted becuase I want to understand it so bad but yet maybe were not sopposed to understand it all....or atleast not yet who knows maybe we'll understand when we ourselves get to Aslans country :)
(but the way you described it really seemed to help me understand a lil better :) ))

((heh, I admit I cried when reading it also but only at some points when the story was really sad))

[office]

it made me happy cuz i had been crying right before i read it.

[Tootsie]

Truthfully, I was sad. It's a great series and it was...over.

But no worries. I just read them over again in random order.

:D

[LifeMaiden]

I finished this book but a few moments ago. I have a lot of feelings about the book...first of all, I wanted to punch that ape Shift for manipulating Puzzle. It kind of reminded me of some twisted friendships ( if you could call them that) that I've seen back when I was in high school and middle school...you know, there'd be this smug person who uses someone as a crutch and a stool pigeon. Cruel.

It filled me with some despair because somehow you just know that this is a parallel to Armageddon, the ending of the world, the final battle between good and evil, and that meant the ending of Narnia as we formerly knew it. I was also saddened that Susan went on with her life denying Narnia ( I suppose she was a symbol for someone who rejected Christ & Christianity, and because of that she was left out). It sounded like she turned into a fake person, concerned only with what high society thought of her.

I liked the imagery of the Calormenes ( in much greater detail than in The Horse and His Boy) and they definitely remind me of the Ottoman Turks or Tartars more than ever.


And the ending? Well, I kind of already knew what the ending would be because you sort of get the hint that the train was in an accident...and then when the seven friends of Narnia show up, there you see Digory and Polly as young people again, knowing that like Prince Caspian, they died, and became youthful again.


But there really was no end, was there? We know the story continues somewhere else...:)

Try not to worry about it. People have been known to deny Narnia for years and then come back to it. :)

And so she did, M, so she did :) in your wonderful fanfic piece!

I didn't mean Susan. ;)

[Ephinie]

The Last Battle made me feel HORRIBLE! I hated the idea of Narnia being destroyed, even if they DID get to go to the "real" Narnia. It still made me sad. And I HATED that Susan got left out. That part just really ruined it for me.

I did like how they got to be reunited with Reepicheep.

[Lioness_Aslan]

It is the best book of all seven for me. The last piece is really wonderful how C.S. Lewis describes the new narnia. It makes me feel happy and I think that the Susan part was there to teach us a lesson; It is like saying Don't worship fake gods.
