About this product

Product Information

It is twenty years since the events of La Belle Sauvage- The Book of Dust Volume One unfolded and saw the baby Lyra Belacqua begin her life-changing journey. It is seven years since readers left Lyra and the love of her young life, Will Parry, on a park bench in Oxford's Botanic Gardens at the end of the ground-breaking, bestselling His Dark Materials sequence. Now, in The Secret Commonwealth, we meet Lyra Silvertongue. And she is no longer a child . . . The second volume of Sir Philip Pullman's The Book of Dust sees Lyra, now twenty years old, and her daemon Pantalaimon, forced to navigate their relationship in a way they could never have imagined, and drawn into the complex and dangerous factions of a world that they had no idea existed. Pulled along on his own journey too is Malcolm; once a boy with a boat and a mission to save a baby from the flood, now a man with a strong sense of duty and a desire to do what is right. Theirs is a world at once familiar and extraordinary, and they must travel far beyond the edges of Oxford, across Europe and into Asia, in search for what is lost - a city haunted by daemons, a secret at the heart of a desert, and the mystery of the elusive Dust. The Secret Commonwealth is truly a book for our times; a powerful adventure and a thought-provoking look at what it is to understand yourself, to grow up and make sense of the world around you. This is storytelling at its very best from one of our greatest writers.

An intensely moving, thought provoking and brilliant read.
Those who loved Lyra's story in the" His Dark Materials" trilogy will be enthralled by this next sequence of events in her adult life. It is so well written, moving, and thought provoking, But the story continues, and I like many I'm sure, am avidly awaiting the final conclusion!

A good read, but as book two of a trilogy, incomplete.
As a connection between book one and book three I suppose it works. We won't find out until Mr Pullman pulls his finger out and writes the third book. On its own it is a slow burner, giving me a slightly disconnected, discordant feeling that things are not quite right on the storyline front. Maybe it was not having as many 'kitchen sinks' in the plot as were thrown into 'La belle Savauge' where I was not sure if he wasn't drifting off into the ramblings of dementia. It was nice to know Lyra was blonde. The end, left wandering around in a dessert was pretty much how I felt, but maybe that was the point. Still, an epic story well told. Richard Feynman had the view that a particle, in travelling from A to B, apparently in a straight line, actually took all routes simultaneously. This approach made quantum mechanics maths work. It seemed to work with 'His Dark Materials'. At mid-journey in this trilogy I am waiting for the magic to happen.Read full review

The latest saga of Dark Materials
I'm not sure 'amazing' is correct as books are a matter of taste but this is the latest in Philip Pullman's Dark Materials series, which my son and myself enjoy. It was lower than the full price and it was delivered well packaged and in good time.
