I know I’m slightly biased when I say this but this is a perfectly laid out world that is well built and easy to step into. Then a baby called Lyra is delivered to the care of the local priory and suddenly things have gotten a lot more dangerous. Malcom sees secrets everywhere he goes, strange men meeting in his parent’s inn, mentions of Lord Asriel and his crimes, the mysterious Magesterium and then, an intercepted message about Dust. With his natural curiosity, it seemed only natural he would become a spy.
Malcolm Polstead lives in Oxford with his daemon, Asta, and his boat, La Belle Sauvage. This book continues Lyra’s journey as well as my own. I did a full series review, a reread that took me only a week to do and I have not shut up about the new series on BBC/HBO. I think you all know by now, whether it is from my blog, twitter or you got stuck talking to me at a party, His Dark Materials is one of my favourite series of all time. ‘ Words belong in contexts, not pegged out like biological specimens.
