As mentioned upthread, I felt that the book held up well when I listened to it on audio ~5 years ago. I may be biased by that, but it's also one of the ones that I remember most vividly (though I remember much of A Swiftly Tilting Planet fairly well despite not having read it since I was a teenager). The Mr. Jenkins sequence you mentioned is one of the most memorable bits, but also: the opening where Charles finds what he thinks are dragon droppings but turn out to be cherubim scales grabs me more than the opening of Wrinkle, Proginoskes is my favorite non-human L'Engle character; the farandolae stuff; Echthroi is a great name (and I was excited when I learned that "echthros" is actually the greek for "enemy").
