A review by kailey_luminouslibro
The Astonishing Stereoscope by Jane Langton

3.0

The writing is great as always. I love the magic and the storylines in these books, but I've been a bit put-off by all the Transcendental philosophy throughout the series. Now this book takes on religious thought and theology, teaching some weird Transcendentalist views, and dealing very strangely with Christianity and Druidism, and never really saying anything concrete.

I would be very careful about giving this book to children, and I would talk with them extensively about the false theology presented here. Or better yet, don't muddle their poor little heads with all this Transcendental philosophic nonsense.
