Book two of C.S. Lewis's Christian sci-fi trilogy. A weird, sort of slow Garden of Eden redux.

Hard to get into the story, some parts of theology were interesting but short lived

I’m not a huge fan of Lewis’ non-dialogue prose. The plot itself is actually quite a good story if not for the fact that this is a book that was about 60 pages too long.

This was a great sequel and a really solid sci-fi read. The only reason I'm not rating this higher is because I like my sci-fi to be really gritty and dark and this wasn't that kind of sci-fi. So my rating is entirely a person preference based rating.
