I read this trilogy just after reading Lewis's series, The Chronicles of Narnia. I was totally unprepared for the change in writing style after reading the Narnian books, whose descriptive language was colorful and fun. It took me a while to adapt to his more difficult style of writing, but as I began to enjoy it and become a part of the storyline, I discovered a high underlying level of spirituality, something I wouldn’t have ever expected to find in science fiction novels. Unlike what I found in the Narnia series, Lewis seems to make a lot of undertoned criticisms about things he dislikes in our world, like human greed and conformity.
