This is my favorite of the trilogy. Though it can be read alone, I think it is best enjoyed after reading the first two, for understanding of this mythological world/universe in which the story is set.

Final volume of Lewis's Space trilogy, this concerns the battle between good and evil here on earth. I found this a heavier read than the previous books, and the pace slow. There were interesting insights into the nature of good and evil, and the ultimate powerlessness of evil in the presence of God. However, as a story it was the weakest of the 3.

I will never *love* the Ransom trilogy, but enjoyed reading along with Close Reads and now I can say that I have read the whole thingÂ

This book is so. So. Weird. Since finishing it, I have been listening to and reading all the commentary I can get my hands on, and concluded I need to read it again ASAP. So back on hold at the library.
I'd say this is more dystopian than sci-fi. Lewis wrote this during WWII and it is set in the late 40s, but it feels almost as if meant for this present moment, as we have entered the era of lab-grown meat and artificial everything.
There are so many layers of meaning and so many details in this book. When I first finished it, I hadn't really enjoyed the reading experience, but the more I think about it the more I appreciate it.
