Finished this last week. Took me forever to get through this one. Mostly the first half of it. I started liking it a little better about halfway through when the N.I.C.E.'s schemes started to materialize, but then it petered out again toward the end for me. This is the third book in C.S. Lewis's space trilogy. I had read the first two like 15 years ago and didn't love either one. So I could never get myself to get to this book but also wanted to just so I could complete the trilogy. I ended up liking all the books about the same. But if I had to rank them, I would probably rank them in order of the shortest book to the longest book. This book definitely could have been much shorter. It had some interesting moments and ideas but those were overwhelmed by too much dullness. Glad to have finally completed the trilogy though.
