Philip Pullman - he came up with out-of-left field dramatic endings that weren't so out of left field. Let us thank him for introducing the concept to a generation of great writers and applaud his effort.Also, brb, I have feels.
I reviewed His Dark Materials as a series, so you can read my non-spoiler review here.
