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. I also liked Caspian's story of his rearing and escape. ( )

For me, "Prince Caspian" isn't one of the highlights of the Narnia series. 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. ( )

Prince Caspian was always my favorite Narnia book (though apparently not many others agree with this!) and this is still the case upon rereading. Also the audio version I listened to was narrated by Lynne Redgrave! ( )
