I’ve just begun Philip Pullman’s second volume of The Book of Dust trilogy: The Secret Commonwealth. Set in Oxford almost ten years after the end of His Dark Materials fantasy trilogy (the HBO/BBC tv series will be released in November) , the story continues the adventure of Lyra Silvertongue, now a student at Oxford, and her daemon, Pantalaimon. Pullman’s storytelling is masterful, and as with the previous books, I’m already loving it!
