A review by bbrassfield
The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman

4.0

The Secret Commonwealth is such an engrossing read. Once you get past the halfway mark, the action really starts to move on several fronts and the novel becomes extremely difficult to put down. Like all novels by this writer, the story is multifaceted and well written. His world build is second to none in the speculative fiction genre. After reading the original trilogy when it was first out now some 20 plus years ago, I never really expected to be able to join Lyra and her friends (and enemies) on another fun adventure but here we are and I'm most grateful to be able to read these.
