I’ve been wanting to reread this series (for the first time since I was probably 10) for ages now and am so happy I finally got around to it. Vibe wise this is a 10/10, 5 stars. I’m so excited to get to Will in the next book, literally all i remember from 15 years ago is that I love him & lyra together
