When I read this a few years ago I only got halfway before I forgot about it and never picked it up again. So I’m glad to have read it in its entirety now.

This is probably an example of a book where, for me, the film is better than the book.
I feel like the pacing was a little off, the main parts of the story where the it was more ‘tense’ and ‘action-packed’ were over quickly whereas other more unimportant parts were so slow and a little unnecessary. Also, the part where Caspian meets them all is so anticlimactic, Peter listens to their conversation secretly for agessssss (meanwhile war is imminent) and then Caspian is kinda like oh hey everyone.

Despite that, it was of course a fun and easy read. And now going forward, though I have seen the Voyage of the Dawn-Treader film, the last 3 books are all completely new reads for me.
