The amazing intellectual architectural structure of theme and allegory is certainly enormously impressive! In addition,I am fascinated by the wildness of the imagery which is as stunning as anything I have ever read in a fantasy novel. That final terrifying image of Satan frozen in the ice of his own hubris is unforgettable.
The allegorical layers add profundity to this symbolic kaleidoscope. The topical references are the least interesting for me but they do focus the more significant allegorical and moral levels in reality. They make the abstract ethical perspectives concrete.
