Okay, this is going to sound unhinged but I am in desperate need of some help. I am busy reading The Secret Commonwealth, I am 200 pages in so it is still early days.

This series held a great amount of meaning to me growing up and still does, so far I am loving the book but I'm reading it slowly so as to savour it. The problem is, I am very anxious and because these characters mean so much to me this anxiety has been amplified by Lyra and Pan's distance and broken relationship (if this sounds stupid, don't worry, I realise!)

It makes sense to me in the story, but all I want at the moment is for someone to spoil for me if they reconcile by the end of the book.

I know that this novel ends on a cliffhanger and it's going to kill me not knowing if that cliffhanger includes them still being disconnected from one another or not. It would help if I can prepare myself mentally for that now already. That's all, really. Of course, I'd like to avoid actual plot spoilers but this one aspect has to be spoiled for me because I cannot carry on crying through another 500 pages.

Please feel free to DM me, so as to avoid spoilers for others in comments.
