Prince Caspian
by C.S. Lewis
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe: ★★★.5
Prince Caspian: ★★★
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader:
The Silver Chair:
The Horse and His Boy:
The Magician's Nephew:
The Last Battle:
It's hard to rate a book when I'm not the target audience for it
On the one hand, I adore this world and all the characters in it. Narnia is somewhere I've always dreamed of going, even when I was a kid and I'd never even read these books. I'd heard of Narnia through some friends who had been reading this series when I was very young, and ever since I've dreamed of it. Hopefully that gives you an idea of how much I love this world. I really enjoyed Prince Caspian because it gives us a bit about the lore of Narnia and its history, which is what I'm really here for. But on the other hand, the actual plot of it felt so rushed that it was hard to enjoy. I think I felt the same about the first book. This is where it's tricky, because what I think would fix it is more action, more drawn out battles, more struggle. But of course, you can't do that in a children's novel. So while I do love this book, and so far the series as a whole, I can't see myself giving anything in this series higher than a 3.5 because of the plot. But regardless, I still love this world and can't wait to read the next one!
