Livre d'Or

Slightly tongue-in-cheek, but doesn't the New Testament have the same problem? It has the climax of Jesus' death and resurrection very near the beginning, and then there's another two dozen books about the disciples and Paul wandering about doing slightly random stuff, and then Revelation, which, well. I've always thought that the big problem with The last battle isn't that Lewis failed to write a fantasy version of Revelation, but that Revelation fundamentally doesn't work as the final chapter of a novel, if you're expecting anything like modern novel conventions. And then there's another two thousand years of history in which the life and death of Jesus certainly have a big impact, but fundamentally the world still carries on existing much the same, with its burdens of sin and suffering and death.
