Why this must be read:
Peter is my favorite character from the books. I have always loved the idea of being called to a high purpose, which is why fantasy-adventure books litter my bookshelves. Peter, even moreso than his younger siblings, is the High King of Narnia, a boy who becomes a man in charge of a country, a civilization, and the charge of his siblings too. Not easy to carry on even the most stout of shoulders.
In "Peter in Love," Tosca explores what it is that makes Peter so capable at being the High King, but she does so from the vantage point of their return to England. Peter, the High King, is only a boy once more, but something in him has fundamentally changed through his experiences, nay, his lifetime spent in Narnia.
Some unknown emotion rose, swelling to fullness like a river flooding against its banks. Narnia spread below him, a daydream of lush hills and secluded valleys, dancing streams and whispering forests. Before the blue swathe of the western sea, Cair Paravel glistened like a star, and beside him, even more glorious and radiant, glowed the sun.
He felt as though he were on the edge of a precipice, undecided whether to fall into the endless sky and trust he would be caught, or to step backward onto solid ground. Uncertain, he turned to find Aslan's gaze upon him, patient and yet somehow demanding, unjudging but somehow expectant.
And there sprang up that same sense of belonging he had experienced the first time Aslan had turned that golden regard on him, had first spoken his name in that deep sonorous voice which sounded as church bells, had first laid that heavy velvet paw on his shoulder.
Peter fell.
