The Last Battle is a beautiful allegory of the life to come and what awaits us in heaven. It's also a shocking image of the lies circulating in our world today. My favorite lines in the entire series are at the end of the book because they capture the ...more |

| I believe this book contains my favorite storyline and favorite settings and favorite world building of the entire series. I only wish we could have descended into the land of Bism and spent more quality time with the centaurs of Lewis' world. ...more | |
