she has.

In this next book, Pullman starts dishing out strange and unnatural creatures/concepts that are supernatural but totally believable with regards to the plot. While the first two books were mostly within the confines of the middle-class, this one really gives an understanding of the majority of the London population in the 1800s, the poor. Also, The Tiger in the Well really emphasizes the limited power of women I this time period. It also requires a good background of history and immigration into England in the 1800s.
ReplyDeleteIs this book in the same series as the ruby in the smoke book that i saw you reading earlier? Is there anything specific that you enjoy about the writers style? (if you do like it).
ReplyDeleteThis is the third book in the series, the second being Shadow in the North. There is also a fourth, The Tin Princess. I do really like the books, the way the author gives fleeting perspectives on several characters heightens the mysterious plot at hand. Also, his description and attention to important detail are on point. A quicker read than a Game of Thrones, Keagan, but it holds many similarities to that amazing series. I would seriously recommend it.
