En la versión Narniana de Hamlet, tenemos a los Pevensie ayudando a Caspian a derrotar al rey Miraz. En esta épica tenemos el desarrollo de los personajes, como Susan empieza a cuestionar las cosas que pasan (denotando que está dejando de creer en Narnia) y también nos introducen a personajes memorables como Reepicheep.
I wonder: If I read it when I was a child, would I have given it 5 stars?
The nicest part about this book for me was the world building aspect, even though it was scarce, it was better than nothing and added just enough texture to the Narnian lore to keep me interested in reading on.
One thing I found particularly unappealing about this novel was the constant barrage of sexist tropes aimed at Susan and Lucy. While I understand that that was the type of posh children's speak of the era, it does get a little bit grating and whether those where his views or not, it does make you question the authors morals, but I'll wait until reading [The Screwtape Letters|8130077] before passing any judgement on that front.
Besides that, there's not a whole lot to say about this book that I haven't already mentioned in the reviews of the preceding books in [The Chronicles Of Narnia|11127]. They're easy reads with a little bit of Christian morality that keep things interesting.

Complicated
En este cuarto tomo de Las crónicas de Narnia seguimos dos historias, la de los cuatro hermanos Pevensie que regresan a Narnia y, aunque para ellos ha pasado un año, allá han transcurrido 1300 años, en el intertanto, el príncipe Caspian lucha por su corona, pues Narnia está ahora sometida a los telmarinos, a quienes dirige el malvado rey Miraz.
Al igual que en los libros anteriores, vemos el camino que deben recorrer los personajes para llegar a su destino, el cual es sin dudas, uno en el que tuvieron que poner todo de su parte pues pasaron por muchas adversidades que finalmente lograron superar.
En este tomo es en donde realmente me di cuenta de que los hermanos ya son más grandes y que sus acciones son las de un adulto que a veces actúa de formas misteriosas, los sentí tan sabios y eso me provocó una gran nostalgia. Disfruté de sus aventuras, de las del príncipe Caspian, me encantó conocer a todos los animales parlantes de la nueva Narnia y me encariñe con todos y cada uno de ellos, desde el pequeño y valiente ratón Reepicheep hasta los grandes y tiernos Osos Barrigudos. Narnia es una saga llena de aventuras que te hacen recordar lo que es la magia para los niños, para mi, la más pura y sin dudas una que no se compara con ninguna otra.

Read this out loud to Bo and he thought it was okay but kinda boring compared to the previous ones.
We also agreed to not watch the movie (he's never seen it) until we finished the book which made it seem to drag even more 😂
I agree with him and I know I'm a heretic for saying this but I LOVE the movie and found the book to be kinda 'meh' in comparison.

Still a delightful read! My favorite part this year was when Aslan appeared to Lucy. She saw Him, but didn't feel brave enough to follow without the support of her siblings. When she did finally decide to follow Aslan, He told her that if she had chosen to follow Him earlier, it would have been ok. He wouldn't tell her what would have happened, but that she should have trusted. Such an important lesson for me these days!

It's been awhile since I've read Prince Caspian. I saw the movie recently. When rereading the book, I was shocked at how much of the story had been changed when adapting it to film. I see no reason why they couldn't have followed the book. The book is a better story!
