!bookworms what are your thoughts?
I never read, I only watched the Nicole Kidman film and the first season of the show. But I did some wikipedia reading on their fictional world
>people have dæmons which are their souls living outside their bodies in the shape on an animal
>Jean Calvine became Pope and the Church, I mean, the Magisterium, became some totalitarian uber powerful org in charge of Europe.
>God and the angels exist and our heroes want to kill them because the Kingdom of God is bad, Republic of Heaven is good and Church bad or something.
!catholics thoughts?
I did like the victorian-to-dieselpunk aesthetics the film and show have with the dirigibles and balloons, even if dirigibles are gay.
@ACA can you ping the calvinists and atheists please?

Definitely fedorashit, but the daemons were a cool idea and the first book twist was pretty good for kidlit. The series is conceptually derivative of Narnia in a pretty annoying way (never write an entire fantasy trilogy just because you're seething about something) but the actual reading experience is very different. And it's better than most multiverse slop because it takes time in the actual worlds instead of using the concept as a gimmick.
When it comes to "But what if le devil was le right??" media we've all got better options. If you're an adult just skip the kids books and read Paradise Lost (he's not actually right but he is cool) and if you're an ADHD zoomer just watch Hazbin Hotel !hazbinhoteliers
