Review: Space Trilogy
Out of the Silent Planet
I’ve just finished reading through CS Lewis’s Space Trilogy. I enjoy science fiction and this was pretty enjoyable as well. I particularly enjoyed the first two books featuring travels to Mars and Venus, respectively.
Lewis does an interesting job of mixing mythology with science fiction. He, of course, also has you thinking through his creations for their Christian expressions.
Perelandra
I did not enjoy the third book nearly as much, perhaps because I am not British, or perhaps because I was trying too hard to figure out what he was trying to say about our world, rather than the fantasy world. The third book’s femininity theme perplexed me. I welcome those who are into such studies to read it and let me know.
I’m glad I read the series. If you only read one, read the second, Perelandra.
