I don't know if I was accurately anticipating what the contents of this book would be. The planet, Perelandra, is Venus. Lewis's world-building circulated around the concept of femininity and graceful beauty. And the plot recreated a rendition of Satan's temptation in the Garden of Eden.

The concepts and prose were gorgeous, as usual. And Lewis gives the reader so much to chew on. Honestly, this is a fairly slow book for a fiction/sci-fi novel, though not disappointing. Well worth the read. It just requires a fair bit of work, on my part, to get through.

Sections of it were surprisingly dark and got under my skin a bit, although not in a bad way. They were appropriate for the allegory.

I'd rate this book a PG-13 for some incredibly minor swearing, nudity (although not sexual), and aforementioned dark sections and violence.
