I guess what I'm trying to say is that Lewis never really conjures a consistent world that feels real. He creates a hodgepodge of random things that never gathers into anything unified - it FEELS random. I would say though that J.K. Rowling's wizarding world is a relatively successful hodgepodge creation; she uses ideas from multiple mythologies and combines those with her own ideas to create something that at the very least feels consistent. Whereas Lewis's feels like anything can pop out at any moment because he essentially is copying and pasting creatures from different places without really altering them to fit an overall concept.

Liable for just a bit of bias on a Tolkien board?

Tolkien tramples over Lewis, Gangnam style.

I'm not really a Lewis fan, but...

Fair enough distinction, but hard to tell for sure without an example.

Meant to have said C.S. Lewis would lose this battle to J.R.R tolkien
