octavia_cade 's review for:
Prince Caspian / The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
by C.S. Lewis
adventurous
fast-paced
I read and reviewed both of the books collected here separately, so this is basically just for my own records. As always, the rating's an average. Prince Caspian only got two stars from me, because even as a kid I never liked it that much. I've always been sympathetic to Susan, and this is where Lewis starts to send her down his mean little path, to end with terrible effect in the dreadful conclusion to Narnia, The Last Battle. (Though maybe Susan getting shot of it, and of her increasingly priggish family, is for the best. Be free, Susan!!!) The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, on the other hand, was a surprise reread - when I first read it, as a child, I thought it was pretty average compared to some of the other books in the series, but I found myself enjoying it much more as an adult. It's got some lovely imagery, and I always appreciate that.
