Book Review: Voyage of the Dawn Treader: Narnia 5

I must admit, this book is not my favorite of the Narnia series.  Maybe I am a land lover.  This book has Lucy and Edmund along with their snotty cousin Eustace.  It has Caspian on a journey to find his father's companions who took this journey many years previous and were lost.  It is exciting at first, with them restoring the Lost Islands to Narnia.  However it get tedious with them always heading East looking for Aslan's country.  This book is actually enjoyable until they get to the island where the star is in charge.  They find the last of the people they are trying to rescue, but then they continue East.  It becomes tedious.  It took me many days to read the last few chapters.
The idea is the partake of a water of light, sort of like the water of life, or tree of life, and can see more light.  Reepicheep is looking to go to Aslan's country, and he achieves this goal.  Eustace, Lusy and Edmund are send home, but promised there is a portal from our world to Aslan's country.  Aslan appears as a bird, and as a lamb, and a Lion.  Not as enjoyable as some of the others, but still a good book over all.
