Read this book as a kid and decided to revisit it. Big mistake. Lewis lets his casual racism and misogyny fly. It's awful. There's a part of me that wishes I hadn't reread the book so I could hold all the good memories in my mind.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Misogyny and Racism
Minor: Slavery, Torture, Violence, and War

I really don’t know what to say; this book destroyed me. The first half was just horrible and dark and eventually saw an end that was both incredibly sad and hopeful. I wanted nothing more than for the end to be false.
I did have a couple of issues with this. Firstly, there is a whole lot of grey morality where there isn’t supposed to be. Secondly, I wasn’t a huge fan of Titian. Despite these issues, I just can’t be mad at this book for some bizarre emotional reason, and so it has my 4 stars.
