This is quite old four book trilogy by Phillip Pullman. I would reccomend them to most HDM fans, i read them just after it.


They arent very much like HDM plotwise but are just as well written

they're pretty good, as historical fiction goes.

The only thing I didn't like about The Tiger in the Well was I suspected who it was from the beginning

I read about a book a day and I write mysteries too, so I pick up on little clues.

that used to be my trouble with writing stuff... but now, instead of trying to write like, a fifty pager or something, I got for 1 or 2 page short stories... personally I think I write better that way, and I don't have the trouble of having to finish something really long.

I stick topoetry and short stories for an anthology I am thinking of compiling. I need to find a new publishing company because poetry.com only allows me to write 20 lines. Does anyone know of one?

Uh-uh. No idea.

The Shadow in the North was my fav. It made me laugh and cry and ache. The plot was really complex in a GOOD way. I love you, PP! :lol:

I haven't read these books for ages but they're great. When I was in school they ran a program thingy to get people to read more; if you read 5 books you got free chocolate, ten books you got something else and 15 you got a £7 book token. It had to be picked from a certain list, so I picked these books and that's what made me love PP.

I love the Sally Lockhart trilogy. It gets me into this detective mood for day, in which I constantly ask my dad if he's my real dad. But I hated passionately the sadness of the end of Bk 2. He just HAD to die, just HAD to!

I read this series before HDM (only because someone bought me TSK for my birthday and not NL so I couldn't begib that trilogy) but anyway, this series was what got me hooked on HDM.

I love the Sally Lockhart quartet (though I do not think that The Tin Princess is very worth reading - Sally is only in it for about two chapters, and I didn't like that!)

Anyway, the second book (the shadow in the north) made me cry! When he dies - so sad! And I rarely cry at books, in fact there are very select few that I do cry at.

But anyway definitely read Sally Lockhart but I shouldn't bother with The Tin Princess - definitely read The Tiger in the Well though.

I have read the first two books in this series, and I'm planning on reading the third soon. Sally Lockhart is a great character, and I think the time period and all the historical details are ineteresting as well. I read The Ruby in the Smoke before I read HDM, and The Shadow in the North in between HDM books (yeah, I know, I usually don;t read all the bokks in a series...I guess I like to make them last longer 8) ).
The end of Shadow in the North made me really sad, right up there with the end of TAS. I really wasn't expecting it, and it was one of those things where, immediately after reading it, I just enated to close the booka nd stop reading and was thinking, no, this isn't what's supposed to happen! someone change it and give them a happy ending! Still a really good book though.

You mean the end, or my confuding posting? :wink: Yeah, I know what you mean though, for the rest of the book I kept expecting him to have miraculously survived or something, it was kinda shocking (his death, I mean). :D
