hellhound_havoc's review against another edition
The dynamic between Lyra and Malcolm was creeping me out, plus the train scene.

I was so exited to be reading about College!Lyra and Philip burned down every ounce of excitement I felt for this trilogy and my overall thinking of him. There's so much stuff wrong with this I don't even want to go there. So many unnecessary stuff happened to Lyra for what? And the relationship he's trying to push down our throats is possibly the worst thing I ever read about. I was expecting to meet Lyra, struggling of course with finding friends or love or because of her past, a little good old adventure or something and instead I got... well.
