C. S. Lewis' Narina books are known as heavy allegory, at least the later ones.This book too, is an allegory, and an intersting one. While in a few times, the book becomes heavy, overall it isn't.There are some quibbles with the novel. Why is beauty always good, for instance. Yet, because of the book feels like an honest examnation of faith; this seems to make up for it. In some ways, this a better plea about faith than the Narina books. It is more serious than the Narina books and somehow, more real.
