A review by karineik
The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman

3.0

His Dark Materials was one of my favourite series when I was younger so I was obviously excited about the continuation of the story. The previous book left me disappointed, and I was hoping this would be better with Lyra as the main character. This book took me several months to finish, I kept picking it up and putting it back down again as it was just so boring. It didn't feel like there was a plot, but at the same time it felt like too many things were going on, and I didn't care about a single one of them. I was set on giving it a two, but I felt it did pick up towards the end so it did make me want to find out what happens in book 3.
