I am still reeling from the emotional rollercoaster that was The Rose Field!!! Philip Pullman truly outdid himself with this epic conclusion to The Book of Dust trilogy 
. I mean, where do I even begin? Lyra's journey is so relatable on a deeper level, especially when it comes to navigating identity crises and finding one's purpose in life 
. And that rose oil?! It's like the ultimate symbol of our imagination's power and importance 
.But what really gets me is how Pullman tackles the themes of rebellion, creativity, and freedom without giving us a neat, tidy ending
. It's all about embracing the complexity and uncertainty of life, where things don't always make sense or have clear resolutions 
. And that final line?! *chef's kiss* It's like Pullman is speaking directly to our souls, reminding us that we need those intangible things in life to survive 
.I love how this trilogy has left me feeling inspired and motivated to re-examine my own relationship with imagination and creativity
. It's a testament to Pullman's skill as a storyteller that he can evoke such strong emotions and thoughts from his readers 
. And honestly, I'm still trying to process everything that happened in The Rose Field... it's like my brain is still trying to wrap itself around the plot twists 
.
pullman is a genius and he finally wraps up lyra's story in a way that's both satisfying and thought-provoking. i love how he explores the idea of imagination being our freedom, it's like, totally true you know? 
i remember reading his previous books as a kid and they just blew my mind. now that i'm older, i can appreciate the complexity of his world-building and characters even more.
but at the same time, i think he was trying to say that life is messy and we gotta figure it out as we go. which is pretty deep if you ask me 
anyway, i'm so excited to see what other stories pullman comes up with next, he's always pushing boundaries and taking us on wild rides 
! Philip Pullman's got game 
, and The Rose Field is a masterclass in storytelling 
, navigating treacherous landscapes and confronting dark truths within herself 
. Her journey is so relatable 
– who hasn't felt suffocated by the weight of expectations? 
, refusing to tie everything up with a neat bow 
. It's messy, it's real 
, and it's bloody brilliant 
– I felt like I was right there in Oxford, exploring the streets and alleys alongside Lyra 
.
is everything 
. And if The Book of Dust is any indication, I'm ready for whatever comes next 
It's like she's our personal hero on a quest to reclaim her imagination and create positive change in the world. 
His writing is so evocative and immersive, it's like you're right there with Lyra navigating this treacherous landscape. 
It's not always easy or convenient, but that's what makes it so powerful.
But Pullman's message is clear: our imagination and creativity are what set us free, and without them, we're stuck in a world that can suffocate us. 
So let's keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible and never stop exploring!
