Philip Pullman

4.07 AVERAGE


Don't get me wrong I adore this world that was created, how i wish I had my own daemon.
But I didn't like any of the characters and the end confused the hell out of me.
I really wanted to like this more

idk how many times i’ve read this but it will always be perfect 

Great adventure story. I cannto wait to see what happens in the next book.

Pullman uses too many semicolons at all the wrong times. But that aside, the book is a fairly good yarn—the controversial religious overtones that have resulted in multiple bannings of this series only show up in the final few pages. The armored bears are by far the best part of the book.
adventurous emotional mysterious medium-paced

I feel like I’m missing something here, maybe it’s because I watched the first adaptation of this first years and years ago, but I just didn’t enjoy this until the very end couple of chapters
