The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman

4.5

“Everything was going to plan, really. Except that he’d killed someone.”

This book takes you in a completely different direction from the first…definitely for the best. Following the parallel journeys of Lyra and Will, this book takes us through their exploration of different worlds and their unravelling of the mysteries of a powerful, magical knife.

I really loved the addition of Will in this book and I really appreciated that he wasn’t just added in as Lyra’s sidekick. Each of them are just as important as the other and their separate (yet intertwined) quests were truly thrilling. 

The ending was action packed and had a few unexpected moments in there too. Can’t wait to continue…
