Reflection on Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis


               This book was not as good as Lion, the first in the series, but is cool. It has really interesting elements of time-travel and explores the world of Narnia in a different way, enlarging it as well. However, the plot felt really similar to the first book’s plot and that felt annoying. I hope the third has greater differences. There are a few cool quotes from the book that I liked:

“That’s the worst of girls,” said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. “They never carry a map in their heads.”
“That’s because our heads have something inside them,” said Lucy. [Even though Edmund is a douche in this quote, he does get better in this book. I hated that kid in the first book.]

“You come of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve,” said Aslan. “And that is both honor enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content.” [This line reminds me a lot of themes from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.

In sum, this is a decent book for the second in the series and I am going to continue to read The Chronicles of Narnia.
