Review of 'The Book of Dust' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I am rather dissappointed with this book.

The first part started really well. It had context, it raised questions and good tension. A fine mystery, a nice mix. A solid book.

But the second part felt like a mess. The tone changed, it lost its flow. The story got repetitive and i felt like i complete different book.
I also did not get the second leadcharacter that came somehow out of nowhere.
The ending was rather sad and pointless.

I hope the second book will explain why the first book was like this.
