It’s quite impressive how CS Lewis balances the perspective and story telling narrative of Ransom. At some points it’s as if he is telling the story to us (therefore using past tense ) and sometimes we are absorbed/sucked into the story and so therefore he begins to speak to us in the present tense.

You can really see CS Lewis and his love for writing in this book so far. The words that are used feel slightly similar to 18th century vocabulary. And so I do get a bit of a headache reading it from having to focus. Otherwise it is very intriguing !
