mene: "The Willowmere Chronicles" series includes daemons, but focusing more on the Ancient Greek version.
"His Dark Materials" series has a parallel world where everyone has a daemon, but in a different way than the daemons in the Willowmere Chronicles.
When Lyra's friend Roger disappears, she and her daemon, Pantalaimon, determine to find him, The ensuring quest leads then to the bleak splendor of the North, where armored bears rule the ice and witch-queens fly through the frozen skies -and where a team of scientists is conducts experiments too horrible to be spoken about.
As always, Pullman is a master at combining impeccable characterizations and seamless plotting, maintaining a crackling pace to create scene upon scene of almost unbearable tension. This glittering gem will leave readers of all ages eagerly awaiting the next installment of Lyra's adventures.
Into this wild abyss, The womb of nature and perhaps her grave, Of neither sea, not shore, nor air, nor fire, But all these in their pregnant causes mixed Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight, Unless the almighty maker them ordain, His dark materials to create more worlds, Into this wild abyss the wary fiend Stood on the brink of hell and looked a while, Pondering his voyage...
We are all subject to the fates. But we must all act as if we are not...or die of despair.
...this was in the seventeenth century. Â Symbols and emblems were everywhere. Buildings and pictures were designed to be read like books. Â Everything stood for something else.; if you had the right dictionary you could read Nature itself.
