A review by romankurys
Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis
4.0
So I decided to read this series in the order it was published, so this one was officially Book 2 for me.
All in all I settled on 4 stars.
Characters: 3 stars
Setting: 5 stars
Plot: 4 stars
Total Avrg: 4
So I enjoyed the setting of this book more then anything else. Land of Narnia is a magical land and coming back to it was pretty damn awesome for me. The plot I found pretty interesting also and it o my got better as book went along. It was simple yes, but also strangely enchanting like a good fairytale.
Characters were good but felt a bit underdeveloped. Although the claim could be made that in 250 pages how much of that could be done. Most of Lewis attention went to telling a good story. And that he accomplished very well for me.
What was very confusing for me was that for the much "Christian" propaganda everyone screams this series has, I thought the exact opposite of Prince Caspian. It appeared to me that Aslan is the head of Paganism, not Christianity, judging by all his followers.
All in all...Part 3 needs to be read :)
