![]() ![]() ![]() To whom would you recommend this book? For ages 10 and up who love dystopian fantasy, especially fans of the original His Dark Materials. ![]() I appreciate the brief synopsis of The Golden Compass at the beginning, although I think it would be hard to completely grasp what drives Lyra without having read that first book.Īnything you didn’t like about it? A graphic version is often an opportunity to diversify the characters of the original here, all but peripheral bad guys are white. The exquisite fine lined graphic art is a stunning interpretation of the imagery, and meshes nicely with the art in the previous volume by another artist. This adaptation faithfully follows the trajectory of Pullman’s original, although some details have, by necessity, been omitted. Will helps Lyra go back and forth between this new world and his Oxford, and Lyra helps Will in his quest to learn about his father, and to eventually come to terms with the subtle knife. What did you like about the book? This graphic novel version of the second book in Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy follows Lyra Belacqua and Pantalaimon as they enter a new world to learn more about ‘dust.’ There in Cittàgazze they encounter Will Parry, who has escaped from the world of his Oxford, fleeing from men who torment him and his mother about his wayward father. ![]() Rating: 1-5 (5 is an excellent or a Starred review) 4.5 ![]()
