I read this a long time ago and remember absolutely loving it. I'm going to listen to the audiobook in anticipation of the episodes the Girls Gone Canon podcast will devote to this series. Looking forward to reliving this one!

Great YA fantasy. Loved the character of Lyra, Iorek, and all the gyptians. Looking forward to The Subtle Knife.

Phillip Pullman is a renowned writer and I am not at all calling into question his skill into spinning a story or his way with words.
I enjoyed the premise of the work but I did find myself having to flick back to the glossary to find the meaning of some of the more older words.
I will likely read book 2 and 3 though

I loved the audiodrama! The cast was amazing, and the story--though, Lyra was a little bit too clever at times (I wish she'd have struggled a bit more to piece things together)--was exciting and engaging!
The first three-fourths of the novel was really interesting to me. The characters and the premise, in particular. But the ending almost ruined it for me, going way over the top, sort of in a Jonathan Livingston Seagull kind of way! But what I liked outweighed what I didn't like, so I immediately began the next book, and it quickly brought it back into focus. I'll be interested to see if it stays that way.
