This story looks again on Narnia as Susan, Lucy, Edmund, and Peter are called back to Narnia to help King Caspian take his assent onto the throne. As the book begins Narnia has seen dark times. The talking animals and other creatures have reverted into hiding, and many have taken to no longer talking and have turned into beasts over the last ten generations of kings have rained. Although it has been over ten generations for Narnia, Peter, Susan, Edmond and Lucy only had left Narnia one year ago. As they come back they are forced to navigate though the wilderness (which they do not know anymore, as much has changed in ten generations) to get to the stone table to help King Caspian. Before they do this they are told the story of how King Caspian was forced to flee for his life, and what have happened to all of the creatures of Narnia.
I think that I enjoyed this book more than “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” A majority of the book discussed the story of King Caspian and the predicament that he was in. I enjoyed the story. Why he wanted to learn more about old Narnia, and why he had to flee. I found this to be very interesting and very suspenseful. With a story like that in the middle of the story it is as if there were two climaxes in the book. The first being the story of King Caspian and how he is to fight the Miraz. The second being how is Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy going to help in the fight against the Miraz.
In the end I think that I would have enjoyed a little bit of an explanation to some parts. Mostly, I want to know why Peter and Susan are not to return to Narnia. They have grown old in Narnia once before, I don’t understand why Aslan points out that they will not be returning because they are too old.
Perhaps the answers will come as I continue to read on.
