*Warning:  This is the second book in a series.  While I really don’t like spoilers, you might find some slight Book 1 spoilers in this review.*

I really liked Prince Caspian a lot more than I enjoyed rereading The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.  Prince Caspian sucked me into the story of Narnia, and I found myself wanting to read the next book in the series right away.

I wasn’t really sure what to say in this review, however, because it’s such a short story and I hardly took any notes.  So I thought I’d just list the things I really liked:

• The Pevensies return to Narnia right away in this story, and I was glad there wasn’t a lot of narration before they do so.  I was ready to jump right into that magical land.
• I enjoyed the story of Prince Caspian growing up.
• I LOVED Reepicheep!  He’s definitely my favorite character of the series so far.
• For some reason I like the word “bivouac” and I was happy every time Lewis used it (which was at least three times in this story).
• I liked that this book seemed to have more humor than The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
• I liked a few of the things that were revealed at the end of the book about Reepicheep and the Telmarines (I won’t go into detail because they’re spoilers).
