I wonder if they can do it well enough that they can make the third book good.

[ketita]

lolll yeah. I was very interested by the first two books, and then the third one came and wee me was so angry and frustrated.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't even get through the second book. (I really enjoyed the first, but I guess I couldn't summon up enough fucks about whatsisname?)

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh. I hate this series. I hate anything that spends so much time preaching as opposed to weaving the message into the story and not hitting readers over the face with it. I hate Narnia for the same reason.

[feotakahari]

+1. The solution to strident fiction is not to be just as strident in the other direction.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes. And the solution is to weave your message into the story. Plenty of authors have managed to get their point across without hitting readers over the head with it.

[(Anonymous)]

as a wee genre-fan atheist growing up in deep evangelical country, I loved that it was as strident as it was, it was really deeply affirming for me at a vulnerable time

and frankly I enjoy the narnia books for what they are, too, just not as much

just because strident isn't something you like doesn't mean it's a thing that needs a 'solution'

[feotakahari]

Apparently it was a thing Philip Pullman thought needed to be solved, as long as it was strident in the opposite direction from him.

[(Anonymous)]

Indeed. The worldbuilding holds together about as well as Narnia, as well - ie, not very.

[(Anonymous)]

WHAT? THEY'RE TRYING AGAIN?! HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS?

Thanks OP, you just made my day!
