One of my favourite series ever. Lyra, Pan, Will, Iorek and Lee Scoresby will literally live in my heart forever.
I absolutely adore Philip Pullman's writing and how he crafts such intricate stories.

I finally read the Golden Compass! And it was good! I can definitely see why the Catholic Church felt threatened by this lmao. I kind of enjoyed the absolutely blistering disdain that Pullman has for Catholicism.

Don't let the less than spectacular reception to the Golden Compass movie scare you off. This is required reading for sci-fi fantasy fans.

I don’t know what to think now that it’s over. It feels good to have made it through, but also I didn’t want it to end. I’ve enjoyed it immensely!

The. Ending. Left. Me. Empty. This book was a big roller coaster for me, sometimes I felt a little bit confused by the descriptions of things, but overall I loved it. It truly felt like I was on the journey with Lyra. But man, the plot ending... I so felt with Lyra and Will, I knew what was NEEDED to happen, but ahhghghgh... Really recommend this book. It was an amazing journey and I enjoyed every second of it.

I really enjoyed this collection. Some parts in the third book didn't interest me as much but I still enjoyed the characters, the writing and the story. I loved following young characters and watching them grow up and learn how to deal with the things that are thrown their way.
