‘His Dark Materials’ was one of my favourite series as a child. When I heard a new series was coming out, I reread it all over again. The original series was as enchanting, sorrowful and satisfying as I remembered. The new series is enjoyable, but I find it lacks some of the mystery of the original. I enjoyed ‘La Belle Sauvage’ and ‘The Secret Commonwealth’, but they also feel unnecessary.
