Prince Caspian was a boy who, after his parents were killed, was taken in by his uncle Miraz. Miraz was the current King of Narnia, and had driven out all talking and magical animals. Caspian was told stories of Old Narnia, a place where talking animals lived, and Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter were the kings and queens of Narnia, under the mighty Aslan, the lion creator of the world. He was told these stories in secret, because King Miraz didn’t want anyone to find out about Old Narnia. One day, he and the queen had a baby, and his tutor told him to escape because now that Miraz had his own heir, he would attempt to kill him. Caspian escapes to the forest, where he discovered that old Narnia lived on, in hiding. He called a meeting of all the talking and magical beasts, and they discussed war. They made their base in Aslans’ How, a mound built over a broken table of stone. However, Caspian was badly losing. He was desperate, so he blew the horn of Queen Susan, to get help.
This was a very cool story, I liked how it was set far in the future of Narnia. Like all of his books, this one kept me hooked in throughout the story. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy and give it a 9 of 10.
