you know, at this point I'm really hoping the story doesn't disappoint

Suddenly I think I might have been wrong, and what we see in Caspian in PC isn't naivete at all, it's inexperience mixed with culture shock to the nth degree. Because seriously, there's so much culture shock there it isn't even funny, and it's about fifty different kinds of it, too. (I mean, you have the Narnians, and then you have the Pevensies, who are caught between two different cultures themselves, England and Old Narnian, which is completely different from the New Narnians, so basically everyone has culture shock. But Caspian especially.)

Well, I think I would have a heart attack.

It's just...I was prepared to deal with that, writing-wise. The kid thinks a lot faster on his feet than I'd thought, even though he's still going "OH MY GOD I AM SO CONFUSED" every two minutes. I just wasn't prepared to think about how differently the Telmarines think compared to the Narnians, and Caspian is very Telmarine.
