Narnia . . . where animals talk . . . where trees walk . . . where a battle is about to begin.
A prince denied his rightful throne gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honor between two men alone that will decide the fate of an entire world.
Prince Caspian is the fourth book in C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, a series that has become part of the canon of classic literature, drawing readers of all ages into a magical land with unforgettable characters for over fifty years. This is a stand-alone novel, but if you would like to see more of Lucy and Edmund’s adventures, read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the fifth book in The Chronicles of Narnia.

I enjoy Prince Caspian because it is a true return to Narnia in the vein of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe but it is better developed than that one. It's a pretty straightforward battle story (although I did not remember how actually violent, although brief, the battle sequences are) with a good interjection of Aslan mixed in.
Great installment, hehe! The story really pulled me in from the start, because it started after the events in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It's a year later and we follow the Pevensies' on their second trip to Narnia. But before we go to Narnia we see the siblings in a train station on their way to boarding school, but that soon changes when they find themselves on an island! (YAY magic). They need to help a prince (hi, Caspian) and that's why they are back in that magical land.
I loved the writing style once again. I adore Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy so much. Their characters are great. I love the fact C.S. used time as a big reference to divide the real world from the Narnian world (as in decades have past in Narnia, we've got new Kings and Queens).
This was just great again. I love it.
