  1. I bought Philip Pullman's The Rose Field, the last in the His Dark Materials series, when it first came out. I started it and was absolutely enjoying it, then I panicked because it's THE LAST. I sat it aside, some part of my brain "saving" it for some reason. It's a weird thing I do.

    Well, I finished it last night. After I was done I just held the book in my hands for a few minutes and honestly cried a little bit.

    Books, man. BOOKS. :catjam:

  7. At least from what I have read so far the answers seem to be “nothing” and “very little.”

    Please note that any responses to this will likely involve SPOILERS for “The Amber Spyglass”, the final book of the “His Dark Materials” trilogy. Please reply to my later comment with the content warning added.

  9. Ich habe „Das Feld der Rosen“ von Philip Pullman gelesen, welches die Nachfolgeserie von His Dark Materials (HDM) abschließt. Da HDM eine der prägenden Buchreihen meiner Jugend war, bin ich mit hohen Erwartungen an die neue Serie herangegangen, insbesondere an den finalen Band. Leider konnte er meine Erwartungen nicht erfüllen. Warum, erfahrt ihr in meinem Blog (link in Bio):

  17. I just finished reading _The Rose Field_, the third book of The Book of Dust trilogy (Philip Pullman), which is in the same world as His Dark Materials. It just came out a few weeks ago. It's an amazing book. The plot and characters wander all over the place, from somewhere in southern Turkey to somewhere in western China, more or less along the Silk Road. Most of the book happens in Syria and Azerbaijan. It's really interesting to compare British colonialism in Lyra's world vs. ours. People from Syria through Uzbekistan seem to have more power in Lyra's world than in ours. Comparing the technology to ours and thinking of why it might have developed differently remains interesting. I think I can say without spoilers that the main meaning of this book is that participating in modern capitalism kills the soul, or distances people from their souls. It even covers monetization of universities, like naming rights for colleges. I think what the author is objecting to is prioritizing profit over community and human needs, while recognizing that trade in general is an old thing. There's also a lot about authoritarianism. I kept google maps open while I read the book so I could keep figuring out where various characters were, and learned some things about our world in the process. I couldn't reliably say which is the Caspian Sea and which the Black Sea without looking it up, and certainly didn't know anything about the Caspian Sea. I now really need Pullman to write another book in this world, because I need to know what happens in this world next. It's excellent and I strongly recommend it, but if one hasn't read the preceding 5 books, it would be best to start with those. #reading #novels #Pullman #HisDarkMaterials bookshop.org/p/books/untitled-
