Alrighty, I finally got through the entire story all over again and now I'm still trying to process it all. So this is your answer to the Problem of Susan, and I love it even though I hurt for Susan as we are seeing her through Eustace & Jill's POV and knowing they don't have the entire backstory as the reader does of why Susan is acting like this.

Ah Susan, I sooo feel for her here and of course she's right this time and Peter is wrong and still doesn't realize it until he ends up on the other side of the Stable Door. Everyone was wise to avoid whatever conversation Edmund wished to have with Peter about all that. I love that here, Polly, Scrubb and Pole get an explanation of why Susan denied Narnia.

Oh, and I'd love to see what happens when Edmund meets his son! Will we get that reunion at all? We saw him with Morgan and his Guards, hopefully, we'll get the Father and Son meeting soon too.

As for Eustace and Jill, oh Eustace -- he's still so oblivious and alluring at times but at least he confesses his feelings for Pole before they get aboard the train. I think everyone's seen where their relationship will go except for themselves. :-)

Oh, and I LOVE getting Jill and Eustace's POV here of Tebbitt. At least they had more of an open mind when first meeting him and he's certainly a charmer here!
