I don't mind the whole Jesus undertones of the Chronicles as I've encountered them as a child and didn't know much about that back then.

That being said, this one is very uncomfy, mostly because of the racist undertones. If you couple that with the Christian ones, it gets even more racist somehow. At least, when they get away for Calormen (just now realized the name, ehboy), it's a little less in your face all the time.

Overall, I also felt like none of the characters were likeable, except maybe King Lune, Tumnus and Hwin. Everyone was annoying in a way or another, first and foremost Shasta himself.

Now I'm still givin it a 3 because of the immense readability and the global tale-vibe that takes place in Narnia. It also somehow touched me here and there, when Aslan came and spoke to some of the characters, as his fluffy god-like papa energy somewhat soothed my grieving heart. In a weird way, I felt like he's watching over my friend whom I lost almost a month ago.
