**Spoiler Alert** This is one of the worst story endings that I've ever had to endure! It's the kind of conclusion that makes your regret that you've spent time on the journey to it. Our heroine battle through some of the most horrific circumstances to only, really, be crushed by them all. Here only redemption is that she can fade into obscurity with the least possible discomfort she can manage. What about the higher purposes of bringing the world to a better place? Well, there's only a sliver of hope for humanity, and maybe the uprising and defeat of the great enemies will produce some good - oh well, time will tell. What a sad and defeatist view of our struggles through life. Pessimism and cynicism are a crushing basis for a worldview! (less)

A children's book of some 670 pages - a massive accomplishment for any child. I generally enjoyed reading the book because it was set in modern Ireland, and I was able to imagine the children, Pidge and Brigit, galavanting around the streets of Galway, and struggling through their adventures over the mountains and lakes that I had the opportunity to visit earlier this year (thus, my motive for picking up the book). On the whole it was a fun read, though slightly tedious because the author piled one episode/scene upon another until it felt like it was just to lengthen the book. Many of the various chapters failed to make much of a contribution to the whole of the story. I find it hard to believe that most children would have had the perseverence to make it to the end. The ending was fairly satisfying, which makes reading a long book worth the journey. (less)

**spoiler alert** MacDonald, famously known as a chief influence of C.S. Lewis, I've always found a bit average. Lilith I found exceedingly tedious and frustrating for the first half of the book. I had no idea what the book was about, where it was going and where I had been journeying from. Once I got to the middle I decided that this was probably MacDonald's intention. Life is like that - a journey we seldom really understand as we travel. We don't know our place in this world often times, and understand even less about the world around us and God's purposes. It turns out that the main character needed to learn to humble himself and learn to die so that he can live. Pity that MacDonald didn't interact with the idea of dying to oneself while we live. He was overcome by the Platonic dualism that asserts that earthly life is merely preparation for heaven and heavenly realities. So much the more interesting and edifying would the book have been if Mr. Vane learned about the coming of the Kingdom of God on earth, as it is in heaven through his journeys and adventures.(less)
