I did not remember quite a lot about this book. I liked how the children had more agency in the book, since they were older and more capable than the last time they were in Narnia.

Although it continues the journey of the Pevensie children, it seems like relatively bog-standard fantasy fare, with new characters who I actually find don't enhance the story that much. "The Magician's Nephew" suggested there were so many worlds out there, and this - while not a bad story, by any means - doesn't take much advantage of Lewis' imagination, beyond a few funny incidents. Perhaps I'm just not interested in the more standard fantasy tropes that appear here. 52437 Narnia 2 Prince Caspian was always my favorite Narnia book (though apparently not many others agree with this!) and this is still the case upon rereading.
