slayed... was a really unique and cool concept for a book

3 ⭐️

This is not a story, but rather bits and pieces of the lives and musings of the characters from The Golden Compass series. Interesting tidbits for fans of the series.

 The Imagination Chamber is a collection of snippets of Phillip Pullman's writing from the His Dark Materials series.

This book is for fans of His Dark Materials only, each page is sparce except for a paragraph or two. Even though the physical writing is limited the weight of the words did fill up the page for me. This book is one to savour, it is beautiful itself and although it sits at under a hundred pages after each page I felt like I had something to ruminate.

However this book does not add much to the world or the story, even though I enjoyed it I could see a lot of readers not getting much out of this book - a good one to borrow from the library perhaps.

The book is beautiful. One of the nicest binding I've seen, red colored cut, pages crafted from thick paper.

Unfortunately, the content is thin. It took me less than 30min to read. I don't know what I expected, I guess some sort of continuation or addition to Lyra's story.

What this is, though, is a collection of short (as in 4 lines to half a page) paragraphs that relate to the universe of HDM. I didn't think they add much and honestly am not sure who needs this book.

järjekordne fännitoode, hästi ilus vaadata (kõvad kaaned, punased leheservad), aga sisu on väga hõredalt, paarirealised kuni pooleleheküljelised... laastud His Dark Materials maailmast. mõned neist panid mind tahtma mõnda neist raamatutest uuesti üle lugeda, Amber Spyglassi eelkõige. aga millestki ilma küll ei jää, kui neid laaste ei loe, ja mul on päris hea meel, et panin vastu kiusatusele raamat endale koju osta.

(edit: sirvisin konkreetset tsitaati otsides oma kodus olemasolevat His Dark Materials köidet, kus kõik kolm raamatut koos, ja... avastasin, et k6ik need laastud on seal ka olemas, osade vahel! nii et see kõik ei ole isegi uus, ehkki vähemalt minu jaoks väga hästi unustatud vana küll:))

3 étoiles c'est même trop.

Picked this up from the library because of the beautiful cover and sprayed edges. I'm very grateful I didn't buy this. 12.99 for roughly 42 pages and even then the pages are just lil writing prompts or the first outlines of ideas of the characters in the dark materials series. Was the writing bad? No. But this book just wasn't necessary. Seems to me like a money grabber and I can't get over that.
