A Wind in the Door (utgåvan 1974)

A wrinkle in time was so good that I just do not understand how this book was so bad. After reading the first book, I decided to read the whole quintet. Not anymore. I am done after this one.

It was so painful to get through. There’s almost no action. It’s all exposition. The whole book is Meg going “But Progo I can’t!” And then Progo going, “listen Meg (insert ham-fisted morality lesson) now kithe to Calvin/Mr.Jenkins/Charles Wallace.”

Progo just spends the whole book telling Meg to kithe to different characters, while Meg whines and cries. It was so repetitive, so painful. I gave up only one chapter from the end bc I realized I just didn’t give a shit what happened anymore. ( )

The sequel to Wrinkle in Time, Meg and Calvin team up with Proginoskes and others to battle the Echthroi within Charles Wallace.

Important themes and ideas include: naming, empathy, kything, deepening.

"War and hate are their business, and one of their chief weapons is un-Naming -- making people not know who they are. If someone knows who he is, really knows, then he doesn't need to hate." ( )

Worse than I remember and I just didn't like this one ( )

L'Engle merges science, faith, and mythology in unique and interesting ways. This is a surreal glimpse into the fight between dark and light, good versus evil. ( )
