The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
5.0
wow...
That was a great finale to a great trilogy, that left me feeling both satisfied as a little empty. In a good way though. The Amber Spyglass takes all of the set-up from the first two books and manages to take all these plotline, let them intersect, join, and eventually finish it all in a satisfying way. Basically all of the characters have some role to play in bringing Lyra and Will's journey to an end. There's not as much of the world-building that was so prevalent in the earlier books, but we're still learning things about this universe, and instead we also get so much more insight in all the characters, which I was very happy with. It ends on a very bittersweet note, and this book solidified this trilogy as one of my favourite trilogies. I'm honestly already tempted to reread it.
