It’s a swift, fun read so far. A sort of spooky, folky adventure in the mould of the Brothers Grimm or something German like that - even though it’s actually set in Switzerland (though definitely in the German-Swiss part). There’s a cute prologue about how it’s adapted from a stage show he wrote for his secondary school pupils. I bet he was a fun teacher! Part way through, the narrative splits perspective making the pacing even more swift as the novel changes voice and action quickly!

Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is one of my favourite series ever.
Really need to explore the rest of his work.
I loved those books as a teen and need to pick them up again at some point. The other books I’ve read by him are not as “deep” I guess. More adventure-y. Clockwork is a good one which is super short too
