This book released when I was 5 and I cannot believe I waited 25 years to read this book. I guess I vaguely remember it being banned from school libraries back when the bible belt PTAs were all in a tizzy about magic (and I suppose this book would be blasphemous as well) so I guess that answers that.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the various magic systems within. I didn't even mind the child characters which I usually despise. I'd highly recommend you to check this book out if you haven't read it by now as I had.

I really regret not reading this book when I was younger, I would have loved it so much. I expected this to be more of a children's tale but it had a surprising seriousness to it. It tackled a lot of big, heavy issues, like death, corruption, growing up, the Church, ethnic identities, class. Lyra was a fantastic main characters, bold and brave but not afraid to admit that she was afraid or unsure. I'm really eager to finish the rest of the series
A really incredible journey of a girl and her daemon. Mysteries are presented and answered in a good amount of time. Well written action scenes and you really care about the characters.
Great book. Good story, keeps you invested in the protagonist. The daemons, as portrayed here, are a great addition to fantasy lore.
