Philip Pullman's The Rose Field - not yet, but soon

[TheRavenKingsDaughter]

Such a long wait.

But I have just this moment pre-ordered the book, due out on October 23rd. There is the slight issue of having pretty much forgotten where we’d got to in the last one …

I'm only about 100 pages in, and it's not exciting me, I think it'll be one I pick up and put down over the week. It's already feeling like there's too many threads, and I want it to be Lyra's story.

I have been waiting for this book for a long time! So far I am really enjoying it. It's slow and steady, and I feel like I am savouring it. And also luxuriating, as I am listening to it on Audible. Michael Sheen's narration is quite sublime!

That's exactly what I was thinking - the amazing things that Lyra and Will achieved by the end of the original trilogy don't seem to have had any mention since then, but surely would have had quite an impact on the Magisterium at least?

Agree that the narration by Michael Sheen is fab, was hoping it would be him. Mine is from the library.

Anyone else finished it yet? It feels so flat. So many unanswered questions. Is this really the end?

There’s a spoilers thread @Toucan2

Yup - it’s here:
