La Belle Sauvage by Philip Pullman
2.0
I’ve read The Book of Dust - La Belle Sauvage twice. I see that I originally gave it 4 stars. However, I believe that that rating was inflated by my WISH to like this book. I had high expectations before buying it. For years, I wasn’t able to admit that my expectations were disappointed.
Now, I feel like the story is too insubstantial to warrant such a long book. The plot is drawn out and dreary. Terrible things happen. Apart from the presence of baby Lyra and the prose, there is nothing positive to be found here.
Sadly, my new rating for this book is 2 stars.
