My few points of criticism:
1. At times it felt INCREDIBLY long - there were a lot of ends to tie which resulted in so many povs.
2. I kind of lost Lyra a little bit. I get that her development is an integral part of the story, but sometimes it felt that she had changed completely instead of evolving.
3.
(Also, not necessarily a bad thing, just be aware before reading that this is definitely one big criticism of religion - especially Christianity, but also religion generally )
