As a great lover of C. S. Lewis' books, I've read many of his works, and I think I enjoyed Til We Have Faces the best (and of course Narnia
), but never dared start his Space Trilogy, because it was so long. Is it good though?

I finally did. It was pretty good, aside from one scene in the first book that did not need to be in there, or did not need as much description as there was. The writing style was good, but was a little lacking. The third book especially was poorly written. I didn't get bored with the story, but I got bored with the main character repeatedly making the same stupid choices over and over. I wanted the story to follow her boyfriend or her brother. They were much more interesting characters.
I agree that there was a part in the first book that wasn't too important to be there, but I especcially liked the last book, it effected me really inspirationally, and I think it was good, because the main character made bad choices sometimes - because that made her real, since we all make mistakes. But oh well, I'm a fan, so I guess I could talk...
