Why this story must be read:
More a set of collected vignettes, this story looks at a number of threads of Narnia in turn, bringing out gloriously full stories in surprisingly small packages. Read together, The Wastelands reads more like a slide-show of images than a total coherent story, but each one packs a powerful punch. Particularly the first one. I very much reccomend this story.
Edmund watched, and couldn't deny it, that Caspian wanted his sister.
And so, nonchalantly, one day, on the deck, hands behind his back, he came up to the other king and said, in a pleasant tone, "If you dishonour her, I'll kill you where you stand."
Caspian started and stared.
"That said, if you love her, it would please me. But remember that we never stay."
Caspian looked at Edmund and wondered when his face began to be older than Caspian's own--or at least his eyes.
"Do you understand? To love us is to lose us. It will be no different this time."
"It might be," he said, finally, and in that admitting everything.
Edmund closed his eyes and breathed in Narnia and wept inside for what he knew would happen.
