Honestly, I didn’t like it as much as the first few volumes, but I figured on that going on. I’m just not really a poetry guy, and alliterative verse is very difficult for me. It’s just hard for me to find that rhythm, especially since it’s on paper and not performed or spoken. But, thankfully, this time, instead of putting notes throughout the entire story/poem, Christopher saves all the commentary for the end of each poem, which makes it a lot easier to read. Plus, CS Lewis’ critique is really neat, with the way he turns it into a made-up historical document.
