The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman
4.0

Straight into book 3 because OMG cliffhanger!!!

This was an excellent second book and Will is beyond awesome and Lyra stays every bit as brilliant as in book 1 and Serafina Pekkala is definitely my favourite secondary character and please let her be on time 😭

My only complaint is that the ending was too abrupt. I know, cliffhangers are often like that but in this case it was like the whole book was building up to something and right before we get to the juicy stuff it stops so they can have a third book. I guess my point is that this would have made more sense if they had split book 2 between books 1 and 3 and made this a duology instead of a trilogy, but maybe that's just me.

Now let's see how this story ends...
