Status Updates From La daga

Bird fact check: Ospreys are not the same thing as eagles. I get that we needed to make the mistake the first time for clarification purposes, but now that we’ve clarified it should be an osprey. As osprey and eagles generally don’t get along, I imagine Sayan Kötör may be offended at Pullman’s misleading language.

Why are all my favorite kid’s book series depressing? Have one book end in tragedy, Fine. I’m recalling that 2&3 also end in tragedy and knowing that is souring the read a bit. Not remembered but also souring is Asriel maybe being not a bad guy? In premise, God is evil, sure, but the other side is hubristic, war-mongering, child-sacrificer? Where are we going here? Lyra, Pan, Will, and Lee still great though.
