@TheOwlLibrary @PhilipPullman Using books as a means to experiment with ideas, opinions, philosophy, and play with the way people extract meaning out of books is very genious, and I canât wait to see how that will develop. I expect it to be a part of how everything ties well together in the final book.
@TheOwlLibrary @PhilipPullman Happiness in a story is a balance, though I think TSC did pretty well. I do *want* Lyra &co to be happy, but that doesnât make it best story or the right solution. TSC doesnât exactly have many bright spots that bode well for the future, but I did enjoy the philosophical elements
@dragonfelluk @TheOwlLibrary @PhilipPullman Same, I felt like I understood LBS way more when rereading it before TSC, and I suspect the same will be for TSC when I read the whole series again, sometime before BoD3.
@TheOwlLibrary @PhilipPullman That part of the book did little good to my mental state, but Iâve tried to not think about it after finishing it. Hoping that the solution in BoD3 will be at least a little satisfying. My hopes are only semi-high after the ending of TSC.
@TheOwlLibrary @PhilipPullman That scene was probably the catalyzer that ended with me reading a third of the book in two or three days. Really hoped for a quick solution, screaming sure doesnât help their relationship. After that I gave up hope and enjoyed the rest of the book at a regular pace.
@TheOwlLibrary Also, that whole scene is incredibly sad. Not quite the level of the bench or even puppy-on-jetty, but I feel sorry for them both. At least the old man still does all he can to help.
@TheOwlLibrary They would probably find a way around it. Maybe the Magisterium could have pulled it out from her skin, or maybe it stopped working because she didnât do the right witch magic stuff to keep it charged up. Definitely is one disadvantage to how they did the witches though.
@daemonsanddustt Yeah, that seems more right. Imagine spending four years sleeping in a cave. Will be exciting to see how @jackthorne and co solves it, even without a sudden four year gap.
So apparently DNS queries are not working for me, so I can only use apps whose domains are in the cache. I thought I had configured the router to use @1111Resolver, but maybe not? DNS queries with no specified server fail, but 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 works.
