Review of 'La Belle Savage' on 'Storygraph'

Completely satisfying. It might help to have read the Dark Materials trilogy first, but I don't think it's necessary. I remember very little of Dark Materials and didn't feel the loss.

And with the daimons that accompany all the humans in this world, you essentially get talking cats and talking rodents.
