The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman
3.0
3.5
This is the second installment of the Book of Dust series, which chronologically comes at a time after His Dark Materials when Lyra is 20 years old. I love Pullman's writing and the His Dark Materials/Book of Dust world, but this was my least favourite of the series so far. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, but I wasn't as enthralled and I felt frustrated with certain aspects of the plot The ending was an absolute cliffhanger and so frustrating!! But I guess I'll just have to wait for the next book.
