The Book Of Dust: The Secret Commonwealth

"While Lyra Belacqua fans have been buzzing over Dafne Keen’s performance in HBO’s His Dark Materials, I’ve been dusting off Philip Pullman’s Book of Dust to get ready for this gloriously engrossing sequel. Lyra’s in her 20s now, and when a diabolical character suggests the best way to overcome institutions and ingrained habits of thought is to “delicately and subtly undermine the idea that truth and facts are possible,” I knew Pullman was writing about today. A vivid page turner and a great setup for Volume 3."
