written two new books in the same universe. I mistook them for something new in Lyra's life after her grand adventure. They are another trilogy apparently only two are out. Although the first one is all about Lyra's life from 6 months to 8 months. It is quite the dark and twisted adventure. I find it impossible to truly enjoy prequels books, I mean really we know if the main character is in it from the other editions then we know that everything will turn out alright in the end. The First Book of Dust is no exception to this. Over all it is a good book well written and has a lot of grand adventuring to it. It also has a very dark undertone. At times a dark in your face tone. I am not sure what category this book truly belongs to, I bring that up because on some level it is a truly horror novel in my mind. <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_272412705" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_272412705"> </span> </span><!-- reviewVoteInfo --><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_272412705" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_272412705" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_272412705"> </span></span></span> <!-- reviewMods --><span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/dbeistel" target="_top">dbeistel</a> | Sep 25, 2024 | <a href="/review/272412705"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> <!-- controlItems --></div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_271582930" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/14037048" data-workid="14037048" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0375815309.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0375815309.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0375815309.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Wonderful.

I'm parallel reading this one and the sequel and a lot of it makes sense, but I dislike some thing. More on that in the review later today. But i really like Malcolm and his parental role to Lyra. Hannah is also one of my favorites, and that hyena still freaks me out. As a prequel it fits perfectly with the original trilogy.<br><br>4.6/5<br><br>---<br>I've really missed this world. This felt like a brand new book, but everything was so familiar. I've really loved the first half and the ending. Some parts of this prequel were not engaging enough, but I still loved it because I loved this world as a child. Some parts of it were pretty dark for a children's book. I'm glad that the second part of this trilogy is actually a sequel to the original trilogy and I can't wait to see how Malcolm fits in the present timeline.<br><br>4.5/5 <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss10.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_270421105" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_270421105"> </span> </span><!-- reviewVoteInfo --><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_270421105" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_270421105" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_270421105"> </span></span></span> <!-- reviewMods --><span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/aljosa95" target="_top">aljosa95</a> | Aug 23, 2024 | <a href="/review/270421105"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> <!-- controlItems --></div></div></div><div class='reviewnav'><!-- languagenav --><div class="right"><strong><a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,3,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','14037048','',false, null, 'profile');return false;">date<span class="sortArrow"> ▼</span></a></strong> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,2,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','14037048','',false, null, 'profile'); return false;">votes</a></div>Showing 1-5 of 145 (<a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',5,0,3,'wp_reviews',5,'','14037048','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">next</a> | <a href="#" onclick="loadReviewsIntoContainer('',0,0,3,'wp_reviews',10000,'','14037048','', false, null, 'profile'); return false;">show all</a>)</div></div></div></div></div></div><div id="workpagesort_53" class="quickedit light flipped"><div class="nav"><div class="sectionhead_rbutcontainer" style="float: right;"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><span class="sectionTitleHelp"><a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Published_Reviews" class="blacklink" title="Help"><img style="vertical-align:middle;" class="helpIcon" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/helpq.png" alt="?"></a></span></span></div> <a name="publishedreviews"></a><span class="navInfoTitle"><span class="divotBig" onclick="LibraryThing.work.handleSectionHide(this, 'mediareviews', 'u_edebf05c', '0');"><span class="chdivot" style="font-size:9px;vertical-align:bottom;">▼</span></span>Published reviews</span></div><div class="qelcontent" id="u_edebf05c" style="display:block;"><div id="mediareviews_container"><div id="mediareviews"><table class="sa_tools" id="u_ddc0ff51_link"><tr><td id="left">2 reviews</td><td id="center"><a href="#" onclick="LibraryThing.mediareviews.edit({'workid':'14037048'});return false;">add a review</a></td><td id="right"> thingScore <a href="https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Published_Reviews"><span class="mre_score mre_score_good">88</span></a></td></tr></table><div class="bookReview" mr_id="48105" style="font-size:12px;"><span style="float: right; margin: 5px 0px 5px 6px;"><span id="rate-u_d2093c22" title="7.0 Stars" aria-title="7.0 Stars" class="rating rating-style-2 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><img class="thumb_rating" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/mr-u.gif" /></span></span><div id="brtext_48105" class="commentText">I recognize that my expectations are impossibly high and that, in literature as well as in romance, you cannot return to the exact feeling you had before.

Like Odysseus, his new hero, Malcolm, is on a self-appointed quest, fighting off enemies from his boat. (He’s also very unlike Odysseus, being 11 years old, ginger-haired and partial, like Pullman, to woodworking and meat pies.) “The Book of Dust” has other touchstones too: William Blake, the occult, ancient civilizations, East Asia and a eight-minute piece by Borodin called “In the Steppes of Central Asia.” Most of all, Edmund Spenser’s epic, 16th-century allegory, “The Faerie Queene.” Pullman copies the structure of “The Faerie Queene” — strange encounter after strange encounter — but thankfully not its style. When I admitted how I had struggled with the countless pages of archaic verse, Pullman shouted, gleeful, from his seat: “So did I! Couldn’t read it. Couldn’t read it at all until I was doing this.” His own novel is more readable, and earthier, locked into reality by character and geography, Malcolm and Oxford.</div><div class="commentFooter"
