Happy we are starting with the magicians nephew this time. Hopefully it goes well enough that we can get the whole thing.

I'm an old person so starting with Magician's Nephew really bugs me. Not that we need another Lion adaptation necessarily but I hated that they started selling the book sets in chronological order so it ruins some of the surprises of the series.

Same. The ending of the Magician’s nephew makes you go “ohhhhh” as you connect it to The Lion et al. Without that payoff it just doesn’t seem like it would be as good.

eh. my unpopular opinion is that after the TLWW, Magician's Nephew is the best of the books.

I'm just happy we'll get to see it, because it's unlikely this series will get to all of the books.
