I feel the books was slow. There are about a million things going on and at times it feels like the pace is picking up only to move the story slightly forward. The world created is great, the characters are vivid, and at times it reads well.

I read this as a “You've got to read this book!” Recommendation and while I see what people like, I just found myself seeing how many pages I had left.

The language was a bit flowery for me and slow in cadence. When everything starts to happen it just finishes.

I really wanted to like this book more than I did. The concept was unlike anything I had read before but I feel it fell flat and maybe that was the point. Towards the end I found it confusing, the memories that disappeared, where they now physically manifesting to where those who remembered were forgetting too or did R just leave her body in the secret room? Was the novel she was writing the actual story? I'm okay with a book ending without answering all my questions, but I'm left not understanding what I read.

I got hooked. The TV series does a decent job but the book kept me hooked. Went through the trilogy in a couple of days.

One of the first C.S. Lewis books I had ever read. One of my favorites and it helps me to look at our existence, heaven and hell, into different light.
