His Dark Materials: The Subtle Knife, Chapters 1-3 (Patreon)

Good afternoon/evening, Patrons! I have wasted no time getting into new projects, and I'm pleased to be continuing His Dark Materials with Owen!

This book was a tough one for me when I first read it, because I wanted to know where the hell Lyra was and started to get worried that this would be a book completely from someone else's POV and I wouldn't find out what happened to her until the very end, or possibly even the next book. I shouldn't have worried, but I did. 

Owen doesn't seem to have the same hangups as I do, however, and he was happy with the way this one started off. We've decided that instead of taking on such large sections of the book as we did last time, we're going to cover this one three chapters at a time, so as to shorten the episodes and bit and allow ourselves more time to fully cover what we've read. I think this is a good idea considering what's coming up in future books, and the fact that this is going to get a lot more complicated. 

I hope that you enjoy the episode, and I will see you tomorrow! Thanks, Patrons!
