I want to go read an essay dissecting this novel, there’s so much disconnected stuff going on. Was interested in the development of some of the plot and characters, for the most part I was just kind of along for the ride, feeling out how I felt about a story that largely hit me with mixed feelings— especially in the second half.
Also, the whole treatment of the the niqab Lyra briefly wears was just really uncomfortable. Plenty of imagery throughout had a lot of orientalism vibes, I think he probably fumbled plenty of other stuff that was less obvious to me. I’d also like to read dissections of that.

Jeg forventede en afsluttet historie - og det var måske min fejl at jeg ikke havde undersøgt at der kommer en bog mere. Men slutningen er meget utilfredsstillende. Jeg synes ikke jeg fik svar på ret meget.
