It's C.S. Lewis' best work
He read the greek myth of cupid and psyche and was disappointed by how the characters acted and how surface level they story was, so he retold the myth in his own way. It takes place in a barbarian kingdom north of Greece and is told from tbe perspective of psyche's sister. He made the characters have actual personalities and be dynamic, he added themes to the story beyond the singular theme of jealousy, which was the only original one, and the prose was sublime. You cant go a chapter without finding absolutely beautiful lines that make you stop a reread. What's more is that there is so much weight behind those lines so it's not just pretty sounding prose for the sake if it. It's not purple, it's lavender.

Also does anyone have these pic rel in higher quality? I'm a dirty phoneposter and saved the thumbnails by mistake

The villains in this book are presented very strangely, not at all comparable to the Combine or SEELE in anything other than their main goal. They have extremely few actual initiates but their broader ranks are such masters of bureaucracy, political pull, and advertising that they attain a disproportionate amount of power. They're a lot more like the villains in Atlas Shrugged.

I read this for no other reason than the library had it and it was October. I'm surprised anyone has, or having read it, cared enough to post about it.
It wasn't good, but I guess it was compelling (or short) enough to finish anyway.
Wouldn't recommend.

The first book is really short [but need the others to make sense], i enjoyed it a lot. Try it, the writing style is interesting.

lmao humorously accurate. read it in 5th grade, and always found it funny that movies adaptations have the women be a tall blonde and not some midget pygmy like she is in the book
