I re-read the Wrinkle in Time series again, for the first time since I was in school many years ago. It's interesting how my perspective has changed as I've matured. I still say they are among the best works of literature I've ever read. It's hard to find discussions on these books, but I don't know why.

"A Wrinkle in Time" and "A Swiftly Tilting Planet are both well told stories with good charater development and multiple philosophical layers. I found "A Wind in the Door" a bit more disappointing since the pacing felt choppy and some of the characters seemed pointless or were not really developed. It still presented some thought-provoking ideas, but I just don't feel that the story was quite up to the standard of the others.
