This is a long, complex book, but I am happy to say that I never got lost and I was motivated to keep turning the pages right up to the end. Overall the quality of writing is what I’d expect from this author. My challenge was remembering much of what happened in His Dark Materials and in La Belle Sauvage, but this did not cause me any great difficulty.
I had one disappointment and this will almost be a spoiler. Towards the end of the book, the tension is building and it seems hard to imagine how the particular situation will resolve itself in the last few pages. This is because it doesn’t. The book ends with those awful 3 words: To be continued … And I have no idea when the next book is due to come out.
