More books should be published in small editions with illustrations. Lyra is a bit much in The Golden Compass; Will was my favorite character in that series. But over the years she's really grown on me. This is just a short visit to check up on her well after the events of His Dark Materials are...
When I'm not reading HDM, sometimes I'll wonder if these little companion books are necessary. And then I reread HDM, find myself desperate for more of Lyra and her world and decide, yes, they absolutely are. Now give us the green book already, Philip Pullman.
This was way too short! I wanted it to be much longer than it was. We get to catch up with Lyra who is now at Oxford studying. She and Pan (remember Pan?) get caught up in a plot that ends with them winning the day. Honestly the book was just a nice sneak peek at what Lyra has been up to since "Th...
This was a cute short story, but I liked [b:Once Upon a Time in the North|2225238|Once Upon a Time in the North (His Dark Materials, #0.5)|Philip Pullman|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1331317426s/2225238.jpg|3568899] better. This book was more shallow and it only added a very little to...
"Everything has a meaning, if only we could read it."I knew nothing of this book other than the obvious connection to Pullman's His Dark Materials universe. I was surprised how eager I was to reconnect with Lyra and Pantalaimon! I've missed them so since I completed the trilogy.Does everything reall...
Cute story and map of the Oxford Lyra lives in. Not a story to read if you're not familiar with the stories themselves but an interesting look at Lyra and her world.
The pages in this book disappeared way too fast. It left with me regret; wishing that it was longer, or that I wasn't such a fast reader. But it was impossible to economize the few pages and save them for later, when I first began reading it I simply couldn't stop. It was so wonderful to be reunited...
Love it just because this quote:"The poor thing looked so wretched, huddled there in the cold shadow; and the thought of his witch, waiting in the north in the faint hope that he'd bring back something to heal her, made tears come to Lyra's eyes. Pan had told her she was too soft and too warmhearted...
