Interesting, though I need some worldbuilding clarity and I'm still not quite sure of what happened in the ending.

(Did the necromancy spell just split his soul into evil and good and with his true name he was finally able to reunite himself? Or by knowing himself, he was able to name the evil and absorb it into himself again?

Perhaps that is part of what makes it a great novel? Still, I can see why this author is considered in the same breath as Tolkien and Lewis, and how it's ramifications on the fantasy genre can still be heard today (I'm looking at you Eragon).
