Before Lyra’s story fully opens, Philip Pullman gives us Malcolm Polstead and a rain-soaked world already humming with danger, secrecy, and strange theological pressure. Part adventure, part moral fable, and wholly Pullman in atmosphere, it carries the old enchantment of Oxford into darker waters. Luminous, intelligent, and quietly unsettling, it feels both companion and beginning.
