Dunno what I’d think if I reread them now, but when I was 8 I (1) devoured the whole trilogy for the characters/worldbuilding and (2) didn’t notice the religious metaphor. Seems like this might be the way to evaluate a kids’ book?
- thaumasiotes 4y ago> (2) didn’t notice the religious metaphor. There are processions of angels bearing the corpse of a dead god. The alethiometer is specifically stated to function through divine grace. It's not so much a religious metaphor as an out-and-out religious story. What's not to notice?
