The difference between this book and The Chronicles of Narnia is that the plugs for God and Christianity are far more numerous and explicit in this one lol

Maybe I just don't think this one is as great now that I'm older but it was so abrupt. Though the story is SO ahead of its time, so I can see why it was so cutting edge for so long.

I’m sure if I’d read this as a kid I would have loved it. I’m not sure why I never did, as it would totally have been my kind of book. But as an adult I found it kind of meh. The dialogue came off as pretty stilted, though I’m sure that’s partly due to its age, and I found the pacing a bit weird, particularly at the end. It’s delightfully imaginative, though, and the descriptions are really vivid. 3 stars, to me, means I liked it, but it was just OK.
