I could not remember the movie so I don’t know if this is the same as the book. The book was fine, got a bit boring sometimes. Glad to have continued the series. 2,75 ⭐️

“El príncipe Caspian” de C. S. Lewis, la segunda entrega de la serie “Las crónicas de Narnia”, es una novela perteneciente a la literatura infantil clásica que encanta a lectores de todas las edades. Publicada por primera vez en 1951, la novela sigue las aventuras de los hermanos Pevensie en el mágico mundo de Narnia.

La historia comienza cuando los hermanos Peter, Susan, Edmund y Lucy son convocados de regreso a Narnia. Sin embargo, descubren que han pasado siglos en su mundo y Narnia ha cambiado drásticamente desde su última visita. Los animales parlantes y las criaturas míticas están en peligro, y el príncipe Caspian, el heredero legítimo del trono, busca la ayuda de los antiguos reyes y reinas para reclamar su derecho al trono.

La narrativa de Lewis es rica en imaginación y profundidad, llevando a los lectores a un viaje mágico lleno de maravillas y desafíos. La trama combina elementos de fantasía, aventura y acción con temas más profundos de lealtad, coraje y el paso del tiempo. La exploración de la nostalgia y la pérdida se entrelaza hábilmente con la narrativa, agregando capas de complejidad emocional a la historia.

I was at the middle of the book when I seriously asked myself, why do I keep on reading? It took me a major effort to finish it. Since this book is one of the most known ones in the Chronicles of Narnia I expected big things so I ended being truly disappointed. After reading The Horse and His Boy, I couldn’t help but thinking that Prince Caspian had the same exact plot (go from this place to this place and then battle), with the difference that hardly anything happens when the Pevensies travel. I was getting really irritated because I was reading pages and pages without anything important happening, not even the slightest hint of action, I felt like I was reading a meticulous road trip narration instead of a story taking place in a magic world. I found Caspian to be a very one-dimensional character, the rest of the characters are mostly supporting characters, and if it wasn’t for the fact that I already knew the Pevensie’s siblings I wouldn’t have felt attached to them in this story. To make it all worse, the plot was simple, the characters were simple, but the writing style didn’t match in simplicity so it irked me a lot. So anyway, I hope that the other books in the Chronicles are better.
