I said with La Belle Sauvage that you did not have to read His Dark Materials, but that is not the case with The Secret Commonwealth.In 1946, acclaimed author Philip Pullman was born in Norwich, England, into a Protestant family. It's bad enough that the perfume industry is on its knees, but when the steward of Jordan College has to make do with cheap rosewater for the fingerbowls you know the world's in trouble.It's not been a good year for the roses. Early on, Lyra is dreaming of Will's cat daemon, Kirjava, but, later, she wonders if it was actually Will's daemon at all (note that Malcolm also has a cat daemon). A series within a series.
Which you might think would feel remote and abstract but oh boy, you'd be amazed how many people Lyra knows suddenly have an intense personal interest in the subject and a reason to talk to her about it.
This seems to be a myth or legend from an eastern country, possibly Syria, where both he and Lyra appear to be travelling separately to. This is NOT feminist or enlightened. and I’m super pleased to have returned to the same sense and feeling as the original HDM trilogy - albeit one through the lens of an adult’s perspective which casts the world in a rather chilling and sad way.This second book is much better and more enjoyable than La Belle Sauvage (I personally didn’t get along with that book, and this one actually made me feel even more frustrated with the first!)
Where are the stakes if a secret spiritual world is going to direct things?
So Vol.3 in October 2021. After the first book, I wondered if Pullman was a pseudonym for a woman, as Lyra was sucI do agree with the segments you’ve pulled out for criticism. Very interesting.

If it turns out that this isn't about two white people appropriating another culture at all, then I'll happily admit my mistake, but, right now, this looks bad, really bad.
Plus, nothing of note happens in this book (and at least one very unnecessary thing happens), so, regardless of what Pullman does or doesn't do in the final book, I did not like this book, at all. He graduated from Exeter College in Oxford with a degree in English, and spent 23 years as a teacher while working on publishing 13 books and numerous short stories. He is most famous for his “The other side’s got an energy that our side en’t got. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. I am also captivated by the mythology and want to know what will happen- but I am finding this a volume a tedious read compared to its predecessors. I'm hoping things will make more sense in the next book. It's also possible that he's a stand in for Will, which really bothers me. This second instalment of the It's not been a good year for the roses. The attempted rape, the weird fetishizing of the writer’s daughter, made me pause. 1448194512 I can't imagine readers being happy with that. I’m so sad about how Lyra’s future was written. Also upon consideration, though I've said I'll come back and amend this if it turns out I'm wrong about what looks very much like setting up cultural appropriation and use of the white saviour trope in the final book, even if I am wrong about those issues, that won't change the other elements of racism in this book. One is that, given Pullman's own avowed atheism, we might easily have taken him for just such a figure himself. In the meantime, she's been bickering with Pan, who is convinced that she's somehow had her imagination stolen away by two modish authors she's been reading.
