The hallmarks of classic Lewis are all there. Welcomed or not. Chronicles of Space Narnia. I'll willingly continue reading the trilogy. It was enjoyable enough to merit that.

I remember really loving this the first time I ever read this. But now I am not a christian anymore, this book reads like a really badly attempted allegory. The worldbuilding is cool but it could have been so much more...

I wonder how many of the "greats" knew one another. I know I read somewhere how C.S. Lewis and Tolkien were acquainted/friends. I really loved the Narnia series but this one is a totally different beast of a setting.

4.5 stars. More entertaining than the cover emits, I greatly appreciated Lewis' creativity and theological interpretations and look forward to the next adventure.

This book is a short and very entertaining read, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes science fiction. With his space trilogy, C.S. Lewis showed that he could write more than the Narnian fantasy he was known for.
