Lyra and Will find themselves at the center of a battle between the forces of the Authority and those gathered by Lyra's father, Lord Asriel.
not entirely ininteresting, but in the end it's just a YA fairy-tale with a little to much mixed in.
Third book in the series. Still an amazing world - or should I say 'still amazing worlds'?
Mr Pullman did his best to create a fantastic set and I enjoyed most of it.
Most? (No spoilers but my own opinion follows, proceed at your own peril.)
Yes... the end of this one felt a bit 'forced', as if this book was more a battle of willpower than a bout of inspiration. Maybe I'm totally wrong but there you have it. My view.
Still kudos to the author for pulling off such an epic fantasy story.
Weakest of the trilogy but still worth it.
