A review by hstapp
War in Heaven by Charles Williams

3.0

This is my least favorite of the four Charles Williams novels that I've read. The other three being Place of the Lion, Many Dimensions, and Greater Trumps. This book is well written and interesting, but lacks the more interesting wow factor of his other novels. This book is his first, and it seems to me that he was hanging out with C.S. Lewis and Tolkien and said. I should write a Christian novel. He then proceeds to forget what he is writing, though the elements are still there, it is more an occult novel, but more an adventure book. The last chapter he remembers that it is supposed to be a christian novel (or one of the inklings intervenes) and he wraps it up in a neat little Christian package.
