I read these books once as a child and remember enjoying them, but not much else. An exciting adventure, and well-written—one of the best examples of an unreliable narrator. Lyra is a great main character

But while the story is interesting, it didn’t really capture me, so I probably won’t reread the rest. But I did rekindle my love for Iorek Byrnison
