I absolutely loved this book. Lewis’s writing is as engaging as ever, blending fine scholarship with a conversational, almost whimsical voice that makes the dense material feel accessible and enjoyable. His commentary is both enlightening and deeply insightful, offering a masterful exploration of the medieval and Renaissance worldview.

This book has also been particularly helpful in preparing me to dive into medieval classics like Dante and Mallory, providing invaluable context for understanding their worlds and the mental frameworks they inhabited. Beyond that, Lewis’s exploration of the "medieval model of the universe" has given me a treasure trove of ideas and inspiration for my own writing. The detailed glimpse into the intricate, symbolic, and often beautiful worldview of the Middle Ages is proving to be tremendously useful as I work on my fantasy novel this year. For anyone interested in history, literature, or medieval cosmology, this book is an indispensable gem.

I loved everything about this story! Great writing and great narration! Would be cool to see this developed into a full novel.

I have enjoyed all the other books I have read by this author. However this one pushes the political agenda of climate change which I was very disappointed to see.

Interesting premise, but just can't get past all the F words. Was not worth finishing. Absolutely no reason for that in an epic fantasy book.

This was fantastic! I loved the gradual elucidation of the story on many levels, the rich vocabulary and scenes and the depth not usually found in literary creations today. Well done! I am looking forward to listening to more of your writing on Audible!

As a high school coach in multiple sports for the last 34 years, this book describes what I have seen over the last 15 years especially. Youth sports are burning out players, bankrupting parents and making a ton of money for the organizers. Fantastic but eye-opening read!

This was horrible. I always make it a practice to finish a book once I start it, It took tremendous willpower to finish it. I kept thinking this was some kind of satire, but it wasn't.

Fantastic book from Ray Comfort. Ray is an absolute gift to our generation in the way he relentlessly challenges Christians to share their faith and challenges atheists and agnostics to have to live in their world view. But he does it with such logic and kindness and absolute love and care for those he talks to through his daily sharing of his faith or the many books he has written.

If you want a scriptural, scientific, logical and factual defense of Christianity, this is it!
