So here's the review I wrote back in 2008 (which I admitted to being in a crappy mood when I wrote it):
So my impressions of Prince Caspain (made before getting in such a horrid mood). Decent book but way too much emphasis on descriptive scenery with a decent nod to a plot and almost no character development. In all honesty, this would have been much better cut down and used to start an adventure book rather then being the entire thing. Just not enough meat on the bones of this one. On to The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
And from 2013:
After re-reading it again and in a better mood, well, I can't say I was far off the mark. It was a cute little story but yeah, not really much in the way of any kind of character development or much point other than crowning Caspian king. It still feels like it could have been a few chapters in the start of a bigger adventure and just not enough happened to have it be its own story.
And from 2017:
Yeah, still think this could have easily been condensed and put into a different story. I'm glad that now that I've done this one with the youngest child, I don't actually ever have to read this again.
