This book was definitely my favorite in the series so far. So much happened and there were so many great characters. In the movies, I really dislike Lucy, but I really liked her in the books, especially this one.

En mi opinión, la mejor historia de Narnia, en él nos encontramos al ahora Rey Caspian en un viaje sobre su navío, El Viajero del Alba, para encontrar el fin del mundo. Este libro sirve de perfecta transición de los Pevensie a Eustace y Jill que serán los protagonistas finales de esta saga.
Miles de aventuras les esperan en altamar y en las islas que irán visitando.

My First Thoughts were "what is Eustace doing here and will he come to any use" answer. No, not really. It felt very much like a rehashing of Edmunds story, but with a character that was completely unlikable. I will concede that the dragon sequence was clever and was also quite emotional but it felt a little deus ex machena that Aslan should be the one to save him. Does the ripping away of layers of skin resemble any biblical connotation, or is it an allusion to something (other than its obvious metaphore) I'm not sure but from this point on Eustace has no place in the story whatsoever. It just felt like an unearned redemption arc.
However, the rest of the book was really good! It's much more of a page turner than Prince Caspians first appearance, and I loved that the whole book was essentially an exercise in world building. Lewis must have had a vivid imagination, some of the islands and seas which he describes are quite wonderful, I especially enjoyed the sea of lillies, this conjectured such a peaceful yet otherworldly image, it felt like a world taken straight from a dream.
I felt that maybe there was some influence from Tolkiens The Hobbit in this one, Eustace and his reluctance to venture, the similarities of the Governor of the lone islands to that of the mayor of laketown and his removal by Bard, in this case Lord Bern (even the name is similar), and the idea of dragon sickness.
The best part of this book for me was its vibrant and imaginative imagery and world building. I've always had a soft spot for spooky and interesting islands so this fed right into that.
My new order of the Chronicles of Narnia from most enjoyed to least enjoyed is as follows:
1. The Magicians Nephew
2. The Horse and His Boy
3. Voyage of The Dawn Treader
4. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
5. Prince Caspian.
