Summary from Goodreads:
A prince fights for his crown. Narnia… where animals talk… where trees walk… here a battle is about to begin. A prince denied his rightful throne gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honor between two men alone that will decide the fate of an entire world.
I like how Narnia isn’t linear in regards to time. It definitely makes the story interesting because the kids can walk out of Narnia and back into a different time. A year has only passed in real time but over a 1000 Narnian years have passed. In that time Old Narnia has faded away and people have taken over. Talking animals and other mythical creatures have gone away because no one believes in them. (I found the mixing of mythologies to be a bit odd.)
I didn’t enjoy this book too much. Once again, it’s hard to fully connect to since everything keeps jumping around from book to book. Yes, the Pevensie children are in this book but it’s really more Caspian’s story though. I did appreciate that Narnia seemed more realistic in this book because of the politics and history of the world. It made for a boring story though.
The bottom line? Eh. Not really for me.
The Cheap Reader 
My favorite is the Dawn Treader! Love that one!
Too bad you didn’t like it. I just finished the Narnia series and loved it. 🙂

This is actually one of the least favorite books of most people I think. Or at least least popular. It has its moments, but for the most part, is pretty dull.
It was definitely a bit dull. Do you know if the movie is any better?
The movie is DEF better. More action. It kind of strays from the book some, but I still liked it much more than the book!
Yeah, Prince Caspian isn’t my favorite of the books. I like parts of it a lot, but overall it’s probably my second to least favorite, right before The Last Battle. And maybe The Silver Chair? I don’t know, I’d have to reread them. The Silver Chair was incredibly frightening to me as a kid, and I’ve reread it almost never as an adult because I remember how damn scary it was.
Oooh good to know The Silver Chair is scary. I’d like to think that it won’t scare me since I’m an adult but it probably won’t work out. I’m a weenie and kid’s books can be incredibly terrifying.
Interesting review. One of these days I might get around to try the Naria books, I love the movies but from some reason my brain can’t process fantasy boks.
