A review by tarrowood
Perelandra by C.S. Lewis

3.0

The beginning of the novel was really tough to get into and at times felt like lazy writing on Lewis’s part, which was disappointing (Lewis is no sci-fi writer in my books). As the story progressed I was more pulled in, but there’s way too much explanation and overt correlations in the novel to wow me. I will say that there were theological ideas that really got me (like the concept of how long it could’ve taken for temptation to root in Eve, and the idea of what a perfect world would look like). But, those weren’t enough to truly compel me throughout. A decent, but not great book
