Why this must be read:

Dawn Treader leaves the reader at an interesting impasse. We are shown more than told that Lucy and Edmund have grown up too much to be admitted to Narnia again, which leads you to assume that an essential part of that growth took place during the adventure itself. This, combined with the lives the Pevensies lived before, suggests more to the shape of a relationship. In this story, Lucy has fallen in love, a little bit. And she knows more about such things than she lets on.

"Why, Lucy. I never saw you make such a fuss. Not over the Beavers or Mr. Tumnus or any of the other Narnia people you loved." What he had said struck Edmund. "You didn't just love Caspian, did you, Lu?" He put a comforting arm around her. "You were in love."

"We were in love, Edmund. Caspian loved me as well. I may be a child here, but in Narnia, I was a queen. I had suitors from Archenland and the Lone Islands."

"And not a one of them good enough for you, Lu."
