Lo que más me gusta de lo que escribe Philip Pullman es que logra condensar en sus relatos. Todo lo importante, todo lo interesante. Sus protagonistas son chicas, heroínas atractivas, fuertes e inteligentes que no dejan de ser chicas que se enamoran y necesitan de un compañero, de un igual. Los compañeros de estas chicas son masculinos viriles y al tiempo sensibles y muy complejos. Los malos, ¡son malos! No el malote que ríe a carcajadas con sus secuaces, no... son los malos con poder, que no creen que están haciendo ningún mal. Personajes que aborrecen al mundo y a las personas de tal modo que quieren "ayudar" cambiándolo radicalmente, y con radicalmente me refiero a realizar empresas realmente atroces e inhumanas. Además de los protagonistas cada uno de los personajes se presenta irremplazable, necesario, determinante y completo. Siempre hay una mascota o animal tan importante como un apersona.

En las historias de Pullman hay aventura, acción, misterio, horror, romance y drama, cada uno en su momento, cada momento auténticamente energizante, enervante o conmovedor. Es un escritor que no teme matar a sus personajes arrancándome con ello el llanto más profundo y sincero - y a veces lo odio por eso-. Pullman narra con muy alto nivel intelectual, no siente condescendencia por el lector, sus textos están llenos de guiños y referencias literarios y culturales.

Pullman revivió, para mi, el gusto y el placer por la narrativa "juvenil" de los clásicos como Stevenson, Dumas, Verne, Salgari...

Editorial Review:

En el Londres victoriano, las estrafalarias oficinas de Lockhart y Garland -socios, amigos y mucho más- bullen de frenética actividad. Mientras Jim Taylor, el aventurero, intenta ayudar a un asustado mago a desaparecer por un tiempo, Fred Garland, el fotógrafo, estudia la forma de captar en imágenes una fraudulenta sesión de espiritismo.

Pero la misión más difícil es sin duda la de Sally Lockhart, intrépida asesora financiera. Ella sola se enfrentará a un hombre que constituye una terrible amenaza para la humanidad.

Sally Lockhart, la sagaz protagonista de esta novela de aventuras que nos traslada a la Inglaterra del siglo XIX adivinará las intenciones de esta maléfica sombra del norte y conseguirá detener su avance. ¿Pero a qué precio?

Una emocionante novela de amor, amistad y aventura.

Editorial Review:

Sally Lockhart no se parece en nada a las demás jovencitas de dieciséis años de la Inglaterra victoriana. No ha sido educada en arte, historia o buenas maneras, pero conoce a la perfección las tácticas militares, cabalga como un cosaco y dispara con una pistola con más puntería que muchos soldados. Cuando descubre que su padre ha muerto en circunstancias sospechosas en el mar del sur de China, se lanza a una peligrosa aventura que la llevará a poner en peligro su propia vida. Una aventura en el oscuro mundo de los traficantes de opio, una trama llena de acción en cuyo corazón se encuentra una temible maldición y una frase capaz de matar a un hombre: ""las Siete Bendiciones""... / Have you ever heard the phrase The Seven Blessings?' That question causes a man to die of shock, and propels Sally Lockhart into a desperate adventure that will expose the deepest secrets of the corrupt and murderous opium trade. Sally is sixteen when the story begins, orphaned and alone. She's had an unconventional education: her knowledge of English Literature, French, History, Art and Music is non-existent, but she has a thorough grounding in military tactics, can run a business, ride like a Cossack and shoot straight with a pistol.

Editorial Review:

¿Puede una muchacha iletrada de los barrios bajos de Londres convertirse en reina de un pequeño país centroeuropeo? Rudolf, el ingenuo príncipe de Razkavia, se ha enamorado perdidamente de Adelaide Bevan y decide casarse en secreto con ella. No sabe que una cadena de sangrientos sucesos le llamarán a regresar a su patria para ocupar el trono, ni que su vida corre un serio peligro.

Convertida en princesa, Adelaide parte hacia el reino tradicional y pintoresco de Razkavia, con sus castillos, sus bonitas leyendas medievales y sus activas minas de níquel, que tanto ambicionan Alemania y el imperio austro-húngaro, las dos potencias vecinas. Afortunadamente, Adelaide no irá sola. La acompañarán Becky, su joven y leal profesora de alemán, y Jim Taylor, el inseparable amigo de Sally Lockhart, detective, jugador y experto en peleas callejeras, amante del teatro y autor de novelas de aventuras. Los tres se enfrentarán a bombas, venenos, puñales y oscuras intrigas palaciegas, y tendrán que emplear toda su astucia para desvelar los misterios que encierra Eschtenburg, la ciudad de los mil callejones secretos.

Editorial Review:

A terrifying thriller set in Victorian London. Sally Lockhart is content - her business is thriving, she has a comfortable house, and her adored baby daughter Harriet. But her life is about to change - or rather someone has already changed it. Sally's history has been altered, and her child is suddenly no longer hers. To save Harriet, Sally must abandon her comfortable existence and hide - until it's time to fight back.
