The characters were the first ones I really fell in love with, and they were the first ones I found myself crying over.

I grew up in a household with parents that pointed me to God every chance they got and siblings that were in and out of the house going on various mission trips. From the very beginning, I have been rooted in the strong faith that was shown to me, even though my age didn’t always enable me to fully comprehend the basics of it. My family did not necessarily pile into the minivan every Sunday in habit of going to church

I could be watching the crackling fireplace with imagined fairies that darted through the flame and lived in houses made of burning wood.

Despite his genuine remorse for his mistakes, the Witch demands Edmund’s life in payment for his transgressions, as per the ancient and unchangeable laws of Narnia. Readers are invested in the story by now, and expect a hero to save Edmund. However, unlike in a fairy tale, there is no magic solution to Edmund’s problem.
