I will admit, I'm enjoying this a little less than I'd anticipated. I'd forgotten that the kids are kidnapped by slavers early on in the book. I'd been planning on having a fun read with my kid, not having to explain what slavery is....
It's not a huge thing, more of a quibble. But as I continue along, I don't think it's the only quibble I'm going to have....

So... Prince Caspian's love interest in this book is called "Ramandu's daughter."
Odd thing is? She actually shows up first in the book. And she's a more important character, too. If Caspian completes his quest, the implication is that he'll get to marry her.
But yeah. No name. Apparently Caspian doesn't even think to ask.
Pretty icky.

"Don't tell anyone there's a pool on this island where the water turns things into gold," says Prince Caspian. "It's a state secret."
"By the way, I'm going to call this place Goldwater Island." - Prince Caspian, two paragraphs later.

I never thought I'd say this, as Reepicheep has always been a favorite characters in the series. But he's getting on my nerves. He's very one-note. Wants to fight all the time.
Oot doesn't like him as much as I expected either, which makes sense. I've worked hard to keep my boy away from bullshit machismo and senseless violence. And as a result, he kinda doesn't get Reepicheep nattering on about honor and such.

I'm going to be reading this one next with Oot.
This book has a particular sentimental attachment to me, as I read from in in Forensics back when I was in the 6th grade.
I'm hoping my boy will like it as well. I think there's more straight-up adventure in this one than there was in Prince Caspian. More exploring cool places and seeing new magical things...
