This reads like a poetry book. It is snippets of stories and moments with characters from the world of His Dark Materials. Nothing earth-shattering but fun to read if you’re a fan of that series.

The Imagination Chamber is a beautiful product. It's a gorgeous hardcover with a canvas-y finish, with nice thick pages whose edges have been sprayed red. You might honestly feel spoiled by this thing when you first hold it in your hands, but the disappointment comes as you start reading.
If you've read the sort of 'modern' poetry books written by Rupi Kaur and the like, The Imagination Chamber is basically 85 pages of that but in prose form. ACTUALLY, to Ross' delight, Pullman doesn't write on these pages front and back, so this is actually around 43 pages of Pullman writing short snippets of prose that usually (but not always) feature His Dark Materials or The Book of Dust characters.
I appreciate the reminder that Pullman is a gifted author, but I would've preferred to just have the third Book of Dust novel by now. Or at the very least, this book could've included like a sample chapter. I might've accepted anything more than just the 43 pages of text - some illustrations would've been nice?
Now, I grabbed The Imagination Chamber off my local Amazon for less than the price of a Big Mac combo, so I'm not too pressed about the slightness of the content. But this ish has an MSRP of £13??? C'mon, you guys.
All in all, this is nice and everything, but may I have The Book of Dust 3 pls?

Half the book being empty leaves a bad taste in my mouth but the world has a chokehold on me.
Cute little insights but that’s about it.
