A great kids book that still holds up when read as an adult. It feels like an adult story told from the perspective of a child; there is a lot to be read between the lines here.
I can't believe it took me so long to read this book ... or listen to it via audible. It was a perfect blend of YA, fantasy, action and fun. I adored many of the characters. I look forward to continuing the series.
Will written and enjoyable, but I now understand why some people wanted it banned. It's not even atheist it's anti-religion. I'm strong enough in my faith to still enjoy good writing though.

It felt very… middle school/high school. Adults who listen to children no questions asked? Uh-huh, sure. Lyra is very whiny and a know it all. I love her demon, Pan, though. He is quite precious. I also love Yurik (could be spelling them wrong, I did the audiobook). I feel like his story could have been an entire story by itself that could have been more interesting.
SPOILER!
Lyras bestie died in her arms and there’s no emotional reaction whatsoever? Seriously?
I read this because it was a bargain for a coworker to read TOG lmao

really loved the concept of daemons. and I have a soft spot for fantasy which is kinda close to reality.
that being said, I do wish I'd read this book when I was in my (early) teens. would had enjoyed it then more.
