Sinossi
Sono passati dieci anni da quando abbiamo salutato Lyra Belacqua, adolescente seduta su una panchina del giardino botanico di Oxford nel finale di Queste oscure materie. Nel Regno Segreto la incontriamo di nuovo, quando ormai è diventata più grande, ma anche più disincantata e disillusa. In questo attesissimo sequel, Lyra, ora ventenne, scoprirà luoghi dell’anima e del mondo di cui non aveva mai nemmeno immaginato l’esistenza e dovrà superare prove inattese e difficili che metteranno a dura prova il rapporto con il suo inseparabile daimon, Pantalaimon.
Nel grande, rocambolesco viaggio che li attende sarà coinvolto anche Malcolm, che nella Belle Sauvage era un ragazzino con una barca e la missione di salvare una neonata dall’alluvione, e ora è un uomo con un forte senso del dovere e il desiderio di fare ciò che è giusto. Una nuova, grandiosa avventura che si spinge oltre i confini di Oxford, attraverso l’Europa fino in Asia, alla ricerca di ciò che è stato dimenticato: una città creduta impossibile, un segreto nel cuore del deserto, il mistero della Polvere e una guerra tra fazioni sconosciute.
Dopo anni di attesa, con il nuovo ciclo del Libro della Polvere, Philip Pullman, uno dei più grandi scrittori viventi, torna nel sontuoso mondo allo stesso tempo familiare e straordinario di Queste oscure materie con un romanzo che è davvero un libro per i nostri tempi; un’avventura imponente in luoghi evocativi e indimenticabili ma anche uno sguardo stimolante su cosa significhi capire se stessi, crescere e dare un senso al mondo che ci circonda, qualunque esso sia.

I can't believe I'm giving this book 2 stars... His Dark Materials shattered my heart as a kid... I've been dreaming of a book about adult Lyra ever since but this was one of the biggest disappointment of 2020 already. It took me 3 months to finish this book. A book I had been dreaming about for years Leggi tutto
Hey this review has spoilers so. I was really wanting to love this book, and His Dark Materials is basically still my favourite series ever. I don't really know where to begin, so I'm just going to make dot points. - I'm pretty disappointed - Why did chapter 31 even need to exist- why is it necessary t Leggi tutto
Northern Lights is quite possibly my favourite book of all time, and I actually really liked La Belle Sauvage despite the mixed reviews it got, so I was pretty confident that I'd love The Secret Commonwealth. Grown-up Lyra?? I pre-ordered it and started reading it the minute it landed in my Kindle.
The Secret Commonwealth continues Lyra's story, many years after the conclusion of His Dark Materials, with a young woman adrift from her deamon and starting to understand who she really is in the world. It's a story about acceptance, challenging the rules left by the old, and self discovery. As alwa Leggi tutto
Here is my video review: https://youtu.be/USZMOjCprqY His Dark Materials and La Belle Sauvage have been such an immense delight. They have brought lightness into dark times. It was with much delight that I opened this book. Lyra, Pan, Malcom, and Alice are all back in this book. However, the book is Leggi tutto
https://wordnerdy.blogspot.com/2019/1... Normally I don't prioritize books by white cis male authors, but I'm still interested in the adventures of Lyra--now a twenty year old college student--so figured I'd make an exception. And then I got to page 187 and said "oh, no. Oh, gross" OUT LOUD. This is Leggi tutto
As a huge fan of Philip Pullman, I take no pleasure in reporting that The Secret Commonwealth is a massive disappointment. This novel, which begins every bit the worthy successor to Pullman’s marvelous His Dark Materials trilogy, slowly and tragically dissolves into a narrative so desultory and
Oh, the disappointment…. While I appreciate good representation and diversity in the stories that I read, I acknowledge that even in 2019 not all books can be up to my own standards. So if a book is well written, has a solidly planned story, has good pacing and keeps me interested, I will consider it Leggi tutto
A story that misses the magic of its daemon. Overly long and disappointing in payoff, with too obvious references to the current world to be enchanting You used to be optimistic. You used to think whatever we did would turn out well. I used to be young was all she could find to say. The pacing All thes Leggi tutto
Oh, I was so excited to read this, I've been hoping for a book after The Amber Spyglass for almost 20 years, but I hated this. No book has made me more furious in a long time. The more of this review I write, the madder I realize I am. I read The Golden Compass when I was 11, the same age as Lyra. It Leggi tutto
