The Subtle Knife, Chapters 9 & 10 (Patreon)

Wonderful patrons, it's time for the next two chapters in this awesome series that is now really beginning to heat up. I can't wait for more secrets to be revealed, but Owen is already enjoying this book more than the last, and this time he actually sat down and physically read the book instead of listening to the audiobook, which I think definitely makes a difference. 

The first chapter is all about Will and Lyra going to steal the alitheometer, which is a well thought out scene that carries a lot of tension, and then there's the surprise of Mrs. Coulter showing up! I had forgotten that she shows up again so soon, even though I remembered who Lore Boreal really was, so that was even a surprise for me. And while Will is successful in retrieving it, the fact that Mrs. Coulter has men who have been "cut" as bodyguards may prove to be a lot more trouble than either he or Lyra knows. 

Then there's Lee Scoresby, which it turns out is being summoned to Grumman, AKA Jopari, AKA John Parry, Will's father! Owen is satisfied with that explanation as to why Lee was so fixated on finding a man who had barely played into the story at all, and he's also very interested in seeing whether or not John Parry is as big an asshole as Lord Asriel, whom John professes to support. I guess we shall see!
