It was well written and continued with the same favorite characters we’ve grown to love over this series, but there were thick layers to this novel.
Somewhat hopeful ending of this chapter in Lyra’s story. Her journey is long (over six hundred pages)įilled with the bizarre, terrifying, and brutal moments that add up to a Her circumstances, Lyra is driven to find Pan. With Pan gone, without her dæmon, Lyra is Lyra’s once stable world, where everything was managed for her and relationship with her dæmon was tolerable, quickly becomes dismantled, forcing her into a reality better suited for someone with a higher tolerance for coping. It’s also not in Lyra’s favor, her obsession with the ever growing popular existential ideology of two well-known authors whose “cold logic” is changing Lyra into a person who is hardly recognizable.Įven her dæmon, Pan, is fed up and subsequently goes on a quest to find Lyra’s imagination. This twenty-one year old Silvertongue is arrogant, shortsighted, rude, and ill prepared for the responsibilities of adulthood. Lyra is now an adult and she isn’t the curious, strong willed, imaginative young girl we fell in love with in His Dark Materials.
Thrust into an unexpected journey imbued with extraordinary events and close calls, The Secret Commonwealth leaves scars both painful and real in the wake of Lyra Silvertongue coming of age.
