This one was not so good. It doesn't fit with the other two at all (character, theological source material, or vibe-wise) and was interminably boring in addition to being a bit offensive in today's age (racism and sexism lite - just enough to make you feel slightly punchy). Also confusing with all of the repetitive names. I don't even really know what the point of it all was. L'Engle had a pressing need to write about Wales?

I loved the interconnectedness of this book and how our decisions really do make a difference. I loved that Good was so important. YEAH!
Still loving this series. Such fast fun reads, great for summer, when I don't like to read too much!
