Critic reviews

"Tantalizing. . . . A provocative exporation of traps and trust, awareness and intuition."—The New York Times Book Review

"His Dark Materials is easily the most deservedly labeled epic of contemporary epic fantasies; here as a pendant to that trilogy is a short story that even in its brevity manages to capture some of the majesty—and mystery—of the parent work."—The Horn Book Magazine

"Fans who can't get enough of Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy will embrace this small volume, which packages a short story about Lyra along with such ephemera as a beautifully engraved, fold-out map of the alternate-reality Oxford which Lyra inhabits. Puzzle enthusiasts will enjoy poring over the clues."—Publishers Weekly

I still gave a high rating due to the creativity and typically exceptional writing by the author; however, this was such a short piece.
