A review by franalibi
The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman
5.0
This book was just as gripping and mesmerising to read as the last.
This one is set twenty years after the first book with Lyra at twenty attending university. She’s got a strained relationship with her daemon Pan, due to the events of the last His Dark Materials book. Both of them are pulled into a mysterious mythical world while trying to save their relationship.
I really loved how Philip Pullman referred a lot to both the first book and the first HDM series. It really brought the story to life and as a reader who hasn’t read the first series in years, was a good refresher! I whizzed through this book and I’m really excited for more!
If you want a fantasy driven novel, read this!
