Book Reviews of A Swiftly Tilting Planet (Madeleine L'Engle's Time Quintet)
Book Review: A Suspenseful, Intriguing Novel of Connections Over Space and Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Swiftly Tilting Planet takes readers on another fantastic journey with the Murry's, the family from A Wrinkle in Time series. In this story, 15-yr old Charles Wallace accepts to burden to travel backwards in time with the gifted eons-old unicorn Guadior. Their task to to find the significant "might have been" to change in order to avert a present-day nuclear war of annihilation.
The journey includes important roles for Meg and a new dog who help Charles Wallace and Guadior by "kything" with them as they journey through time.
This book has some real sci-fi twists as Charles Wallace not only travels through time but actually inhabits real people in the past in order that he might change history and the future through leading them to different behavior. This lends the book the feel of a collection of connected short stories. It also creates suspense as readers are eager to find out the "might have been" that Charles must bring to reality. The downside is that I became confused trying to keep track of the figures from the past and how they are all related.
This is an enjoyable and stimulating book that I'm sure fans of L'Engle will appreciate.
