anywhere (by those who do reach it).

Agreed - though Lewis later wrote that not all the characters from the
Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe made it to heaven (Susan notably)
mostly to express Lewis' view that heaven is not guaranteed,
especially if one doesn't "keep the faith"
Which is a pretty common view, actually.
