Isolation #2. I haven’t been putting as much time into books as I thought I would because I’ve discovered the joy of print magazines. The printed medium in general is a great, calming activity in this sea of constant updates and digital connection.
I love this trilogy very much and it has been great to revisit it after so many years. The directions that Pullman takes the story are wild, outlandish and never cease to surprise.
I can’t wait to see the television production of this story. My only hope is that the show isn’t cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 shenanigans.

I wish the story would be just a little longer, though I don't expect much at this point. Such an excellent trilogy; you don't really know what's going on, and heck, I'm still not quite sure what happened, but I just went with it as I read the story. I wish I had a daemon! Perhaps I do, though much like Mary, it would take a certain concentration to see her.
Regardless, fantastic story, and I'm looking forward to watching the show when it comes out in the future!

Ennn, deel 3. Qua vibes veel meer zoals de tweede dan de eerste. Een poging van Pullman om een grootse wereld te bouwen, niet een simpel avontuur. Zoals de vorige twee, erg entertaining. Met veel plezier gelezen, goed geschreven en spannend. Wel had dit boek een paar subplots die niet echt iets toevoegden. Er werd net iets te veel geprobeerd. Ik weet nog steeds niet zeker wat ik van de relatie tussen Will en Lyra vond. Aan de ene kant voelde het een beetje kunstmatig, maar tegelijkertijd was het einde daardoor wel oprecht heel mooi. Al met al: leuk boek, ik heb me weer vermaakt
