I enjoyed this book more as an adult than I remember enjoying it as a child. I think I was just a tad too old for it as a kid. But now I can appreciate her writing and world building. To paraphrase CS Lewis, I'm old enough to start reading fairytales again.

Good, but probably not to most peoples taste.

This was an interesting read if nothing else. I can see Lewis found inspiration in McDonald's work, which is clearly evident. The biblical imagery is beautiful though there are times when I think McDonald is beautifying bad theology. However, if you can read it with a discerning eye, then this might be worth your time to read. It is, after all, very well written.

For reference it felt like reading one of Lewis's Narnia books if John Bunyan had written it. Or maybe the other way around...

I've like this whole series, and this book was no exception. There was one section that was far too long in my opinion where the same thing kept happening over and over (that's all I'll say to prevent spoilers). I don't think it was needed, we got the point the first time. But over all I would recommend this book I did enjoy it quite a lot.

Easy read, but a solid little book on hermeneutics. I'd recommend to anyone starting out in scriptural interpretation.

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Have already started volume II.
