Description

It is twenty years since the events of La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One unfolded and saw the baby Lyra Belacqua begin her life-changing journey.

It is seven years since readers left Lyra and the love of her young life, Will Parry, on a park bench in Oxford's Botanic Gardens at the end of the ground-breaking, bestselling His Dark Materials sequence.

Now, in The Secret Commonwealth, we meet Lyra Silvertongue. And she is no longer a child . . .

The second volume of Sir Philip Pullman's The Book of Dust sees Lyra, now twenty years old, and her daemon Pantalaimon, forced to navigate their relationship in a way they could never have imagined, and drawn into the complex and dangerous factions of a world that they had no idea existed.

Pulled along on his own journey too is Malcolm; once a boy with a boat and a mission to save a baby from the flood, now a man with a strong sense of duty and a desire to do what is right.

Theirs is a world at once familiar and extraordinary, and they must travel far beyond the edges of Oxford, across Europe and into Asia, in search for what is lost - a city haunted by daemons, a secret at the heart of a desert, and the mystery of the elusive Dust.

This book was sadly so bad. I love the first trilogy! Pulllman really wrote a good story in them. Full of fantasy and wonders letting us bond with the characters that I'm now not liking that much anymore. At the beginning I thought it was funny how Lyra and Pantalaimon sort of changed characters between each other, but to see them so much torn apart was too much. And I also think it's very unrealistic. They had like 8 years and never talked about what happened when they were apart. I can't believe it. I could talk about so many things I didn't liked in this book. One of the worst parts was that Malcom is in love with Lyra. There are 11 years between them! He changed her diapers, it's just too weird >.<! I liked Malcom in La belle sauvage, now not so much. And then the almost rape scene of Lyra. I really can't stand such things. The scene itself was written in a good way, but after that Lyra just behaved like nothing happened. She followed strangers even men and she slept on the street when her underwear was torn apart without her genitals freezing to death. There are still some good parts, which are very interesting, but sometimes they just weren't explained enough. Also for me there were to many point of views. Felt like every ten pages it was someone else. I will wait and read the next book, but it has to be very very good, to justify this one. :(

I loved the original his dark materials triology. I read it as a child and it was so wonderfull to meet Lyra again when we are both older. The story and writting style is just wonderfull like in the other books. I can't wait for the next book!

Die letzten Seiten nur überflogen. Für mich endet die Serie mit diesem Buch. I didn‘t get it...
