To Tiniowien
Paths_of_the_dead

Tiniowien, I too thoroughly enjoy the Narnia series, but I find "The Last Battle" to have a happy ending, full of hope. Not quite "sad and weird." If you mean to say that it's sad Narnia came to an end as it did, then yes, it is rather sad, and if you mean to say that it's weird how it came to an end, then again, yes, it is rather weird. But the hope that Lewis's allegory gives is that one day this world will be no more and the only world will be that of God, or "Aslan." Perfect and without defection. That's my Christian opinion.
