Lilith by George MacDonald

5.0

Amazing book. I picked it up for a couple bucks second-hand and it was very very worth it. George MacDonald is a master and it's easy to see where CS Lewis draws his inspiration from. However, this is very different from previous books of his that I have read, much darker and (initially) harder to get into. The beginning everything is rather complicated and difficult to muddle through, but by the end all becomes clear. Part of the intrigue of the book, for me, was not being entirely sure of the character's situation and those he was meeting, whether they were good or evil. It was tricky to decipher at first, everything was deceiving, but well-written so. A bit psychedelic but so so good. Seriously an amazing book.
