I somehow slacked on this and missed they were even a thing until after the 2nd one was out.

3rd one came out yesterday. Anyone read them?

I had finished the first Book of Dust a while ago. Now I'm re-reading the original trilogy, then will audiobook my way up to the new ones! I know I'm really far behind lol, a lil disappointed in myself. It's insane that the series is now really, truly over!

There's a BUNCH! 3 novels, then a bunch of novellas, and the new series.

I read the novellas when I was a kid!! I love those.

Now I’m re-reading the original trilogy,

If you're re-reading, the collected version (perhaps the Omnibus?) has slightly more story in it than just the three individual books.

wait seriously? I'm reading some omnibus on my kobo, not sure which version it is. xD I look forward to the potential of more story!

This is from memory from reading the collected version more than a decade ago, but there were a couple more pages added to each of the 3 books, and perhaps an in-universe novella included in the same volume. I'm trying to remember the storyline of it. I don't think it involved Lyra at all. Apologies for not being able to be more precise.
