The worldbuilding. Oh, my, the worldbuilding. I love this. I love the bedtime story and the gods warring among themselves and the manhood trials and the girl-in-disguise and the rich oldness of this tale.
“That line is dead now. The First Men are no longer even memories in Narnia, thanks to the White Witch; they have been eclipsed by the High King and his kin. But in Archenland they remain, the sons and daughters of King Col the First, all the way back to the beginning of the world.”
Wow. And I'm sure the Archenlanders are justly proud of their unbroken line. Good story.
