I just finished Prince Caspian by C. S. Lewis. This is book four in the Chronicles of Narnia series. The writing and the story are both good. I would highly recommend this.
Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy are called back to Narnia. Possibly, hundreds of years have passed in Narnia since the last time they were there. Time travels differently in Narnia than it does in the real world. A bad man, King Miraz rules the land but his step son, Prince Caspian, is the true king of Narnia. The story is about how Caspian, helped by Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy, (and Aslan, of course) tries to defeat Miraz.
Reepicheep really caught my attention in this story. I liked that a mouse of such small stature has such a large heart of courage. Reepicheep takes honor very seriously and that kinda inspired me. Good times. (I also had a hard time pronouncing his name. I had to say his name out loud every time I read it to practice getting his name right. Even now, I tried to say it fast and what came out was Reechipeach; I guess I need more practice.)
Something that really affected me about the story is Edmund. In the Lion, the witch and the wardrobe, especially in the beginning, Edmund is nasty to Lucy but in this book, Edmund supports Lucy. Lucy sees Aslan when the others cannot. Edmund doesn't see Aslan either but he supports Lucy. I love it. I love how Edmund grows from book to book.
Overall, I thought this book had a fantastic story and was very well written. I would highly recommend this. :)
