If the parts of The Last Battle that moved you were Emeth’s unexpected welcome, the dwarfs’ self-imposed blindness in the Stable, and the awe of entering Aslan’s Country, you’ll appreciate Lewis’s most mature exploration of faith and sight. Till We Have Faces reworks the myth of Cupid and Psyche into an intimate struggle over divine love and justice—much like Tirian and Lucy’s yearning to see rightly beyond deception. It’s the same author, but a deeper, more searching journey into the kind of truth that stood behind the Stable door.

You were intrigued by how a shabby Stable hid a vast, truer reality and how symbols (Tash and Aslan, false signs and true) shaped the climax. Lilith offers that same visionary mode: a house with mysterious portals, a library that opens into other realms, and a pilgrimage where spiritual truths unfold through stark images. Like the closing chapters of The Last Battle, it moves from twilight and deception to a hard-won awakening that reframes life and death.

If Tirian, Jill, and Eustace pushing through the Stable into a vaster country thrilled you, you’ll love how Bastian crosses from our world into Fantastica and discovers that imagination and faith literally sustain creation. As the Nothing devours the land (echoing Narnia’s end), the quest becomes about recognizing true desires and speaking true names—much like seeing through the Ape’s lies and proclaiming Aslan in the dark.

If the grandeur of Narnia’s last stand—Tirian’s doomed resistance, Tash’s arrival, and the final unveiling of Aslan’s Country—hooked you, The Amber Spyglass delivers a similarly sweeping finale. Lyra and Will cross multiple worlds, descend into the land of the dead, and face cosmic powers in a culmination that, like The Last Battle, redefines what victory and loss mean at the edge of creation.

If the closing pages—Lucy’s tears, Tirian’s grief, and the joy-pain of recognizing the ‘real’ Narnia—left you glowing and aching at once, The Last Unicorn will hit that same nerve. A lone unicorn searches for her lost kind, facing mortality and change; the ending is tender and piercing, the way saying goodbye to Narnia is: beautiful, sorrowful, and unforgettable.
