Journey. The second installment of Philip Pullman’s Book of Dust trilogy is a novel titled,
The Book of Dust: The Secret Commonwealth. Don’t even think about reading this without having read the earlier novel. For returning fans, Lyra and Malcolm are back, and over the course of 650 pages, they are on a journey. As with most middle novels of a trilogy, there’s lots of exposition and little resolution in this installment. We’re left with a cliffhanger and an unknown publication date for the finale. Some journeys take longer than others, so we wait. Maybe George R.R. Martin will fill our time with something new.
Rating: Four-star (I like it)
