Philip Pullman's "The Secret Commonwealth"

This week, Morgan and Gavia discuss the second installment of Philip Pullman's follow-up trilogy to His Dark Materials, The Secret Commonwealth, which finds Lyra Silvertongue studying at Oxford as a young adult. They discuss the novel's relationship to the earlier books, Pullman's new ideas about daemons, and second-book-in-a-trilogy problems.
