A Silver Lining
|
| It is a tough act to follow the Subtle Knife, and being the last book in the trilogy , the Amber Spyglass almost fails to deliver , but if a book can be redeemed in a few pages, this book is a fine example of the genre. The Subtle Knife was about explanations a convergence of the threads that were frayed in the first part and the Amber Spyglass almost gives it away by starting parallel tracks which drone on and on without any logical explanation of where the story is headed. Lyra and Will enter the land of the dead, Mary Fulton follows an open window into a land with diamond structured beasts riding wheels which are actually seeds of a tree (life is a delicate web of inter dependencies). The cataclysmic war between the Almighty and Lord Asriel takes place which is rather short and somehow doesn't capture the imagination, though it does shatter the concept of a supreme being who/which is all powerful/moral.In an instant as God's regent falls, the clouds part and the message shine through and what a message it is. So while the author, in a rush goes around closing threads towards the end of the book, just as Will closed windows that he has left open across worlds the message holds you in a rapture. The body is a celebratration, cherish the moment, for there is no heaven to look forward to apart from the one we build for ourselves on Earth. |
