The Magician’s Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia, #6)
by C.S. Lewis
I'm biased against Christian fic, I admit it. I only read this because I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious about [b:Piranesi|50202953|Piranesi|Susanna Clarke|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1609095173l/50202953.SY75.jpg|73586702] (I wasn't). I now get more about what [b:The Magicians|6101718|The Magicians (The Magicians, #1)|Lev Grossman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1313772941l/6101718.SY75.jpg|6278977] was referencing, as a bonus.
EDIT: OK but isn't it idol worship to suggest that Jesus/Aslan, that guy with the statues and pictures everyfuckingwhere, was also the Creator in Genesis? I assumed the reason that statues of Jesus (/depiction of Aslan as an animal) are not graven images is because he wasn't literally god at that point (or something), but if Aslan/Jesus was there physically gardening in Eden, that doesn't work anymore. I stg I will never understand Christians.
EDIT 2: It turns out that the reason that statues of Jesus that you worship aren't idols is because a) this god is totes real, it's only idol worship when your god is fake, and b) it's (theoretically) chill to deface and destroy them.
