Joshua Gross’s Reviews > Prince Caspian > Status Update

"Since the Humans came into the land, felling forests and defiling streams, the Dryads and Naiads have sunk into a deep sleep."

More anti-industrialization sentiment like Lord of the Rings

Unfortunately, we had to stop the strong beginning narrative to dump in a bunch of exposition about Price Caspian. I think the book could have maybe incorporated these storylines better

Black dwarfs seem problematic, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised

Another male protagonist

This book does have a much stronger beginning than the previous, immediate action, mysterious premise

"But couldn’t we all swim long ago—if it was long ago—when we were Kings and Queens in Narnia? We could ride then too, and do all sorts of things. Don’t you think—”

“Ah, but we were sort of grown-up then,” said Peter. “We reigned for years and years and learned to do things. Aren’t we just back at our proper ages again now?”

So did everything you learn and experience just pop back out of your heads??

Surprising that the treasury contained long tusks of ivory in a land where the elephants could probably say something about it

The boys weren't going to listen to stupid old Susan!

It's so funny how much they bitch at merely the thought of possibly going without food

Lucy also doesn't know a wall when she sees one. I think she's regressed back a few too many years
