Read as a part of Mariah-Nate book club, Nate’s favorite as a kid. An excellent adventure story, super fast paced, has a ton going on, very dark, really surprised I read it as young as I did the first time. 5 stars for Lyra and for Ma Costa and Ioryk.

-.25 stars because ya girl can’t handle a sad ending.
