I felt that the books were good by themselves, but made better by the television show. The show was only ok on its own, but season 3 starts to make headway on being its own thing. Season 3 showed that they can survive without the books and even be great on their own.

One of my favorite book ever as a kid and was so happy they did it justice.

The Princess, Odette, is naive, even though she is over 100 years old (being a swan for half of your time and living in the woods on your own, will do that to a person, I suppose), and adjusting to life in the modern age is quite hard for her. She is adamant that she needs to find a man to love her to break the spell, and Mitzi just wants to protect her and help her where she can.
I really enjoyed this story, which is rich in magical realism. The contrast of old magic and modern British life, made it on the whole quite believable, really!
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for the chance to read this story on their social platform!
David McK (3372 KP) rated Prince Caspian (Chronicles of Narnia, #2) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
With that in mind, this is the fourth in the series (while it may only have been the second published) and sees the Pevensie children returning to the magical Land of Narnia - a land in which, it is discovered, centuries have passed despite only a year passing in 'our' world and in which Narnia itself has since been conquered.
The Prince Caspian of the title is now the rightful heir to the throne, but is on the run from and at war with his uncle, who wants to kill him now that he has his own heir. Following defeat, in desperation Caspian blows Susan's magical horn which summons her (and Peter, and Lucy, and Edmund) back to the land, just in time to aid him ...
As before, it's pretty easy to see the Christian allegory in this (particularly in the passages where nobody except Lucy can see Aslan), but again: so what?
