Intro : ” Till We Have Faces ” by C.S. Lewis is a fantasy story originally published in 1956 . I’ve read it in e-book form .

Summary : This is a retelling of the mythical story of Psyche and Cupid from the perspective of one of Psyche’s sisters . It’s a tale of sisterly love , the consuming nature of jealousy , the dangers of pride , and the consequences of defying the gods .

Review : This is a damn good book . In fact , I’ll say that it’s one of the best fantasy books I’ve had the pleasure of reading . I’d also like to add that all of C.S. Lewis’s stories have beautiful language in them but as a side note the repeated use of slut and whore in a C.S. Lewis story strikes me as funny . Buy it now !

Quote : Couldn’t decide on which quote to use so here’s a few .

” There is a cold doubt , a horrid shadow , in some corner of my soul . Supposing-supposing- how if there were no god of the Mountain and even no holy Shadowbrute , and those who are tied to the Tree only die , day by day , from thirst and hunger and wind and sun , or are eaten piecemeal by the crows and catamountains ? “

” What can these things be except the cowardly murder they seem ? To take you – you whom they have worshipped and who never hurt so much as a toad – to make you food for a monster …”

” No herd of other beasts , gathered together has so ugly a voice as Man . “
