I always feel weird writing a review for a second book in trilogy. If you are reading this book you have probably already read Out of the Silent Planet. I found this one to be a little bit more interesting. The planet is similar to Eden, but as always, it has its twists. It is classic C.S. Lewis writing on spiritual things in a such a good and unique way, while also giving great insight to true spiritual realities, mainly that our battle is not with flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 

I enjoyed this book and would recommend to anyone that is a Lewis fan. If you have never read C.S Lewis, I would recommend first reading Screwtape Letters, before you start with the Space Trilogy, if you like that one, you will most definitely like these.
