I really like seeing how Lewis imagined space travel back in his time. I also like seeing his critique of colonialist ideas (although maintaining some of them in the main character).

I find that, like in Narnia (my favorite book series), he focuses more on the worldbuilding than on the characters. There are also Christian themes in the story, although a little less explicit than in Narnia.
