First of all, I must say; Madeleine L'Engle is a fantasy queen. Although her world-building may not be whole, I am thoroughly impressed with her ability to come up with such fantastical premises and deliver a story that carries you along with wonder throughout the book. Let me warn you that her series are not meant to be cohesive or even completely logical when put together, but the stories themselves are emotionally driven, fantastically written, and absolutely amazing. My biggest qualm is that the stories can be hard to follow, but the philosophical and religious messages are well worth the mind-untangling you have to do to connect the dots. (If you are concerned about the religious undertones that I mentioned, don't worry, it's not in-your-face, and it is easy enough to ignore. It's worth the read whether you are religious or not, but religious folks might get a little more meaning from the premise and conclusion.) I enjoyed this third outing into the Wrinkle in Time series, and loved hearing from the perspective of Charles Wallace, a character I have enjoyed since the onset. What so surprises me about this series is that adults can enjoy it just as much as children can!
