5.0

I read the Golden Compass and the Subtle Knife as a kid, maybe in 4th or 5th grade. I had remembered a lot of the Golden Compass on my reread, and I had remembered odd specific details in the Subtle Knife, but rereading has been super satisfying. Watching Will and Lyra figure out how to work together and searching for their own goals without understanding exactly how everything is entwined is super satisfying. 

I never got to The Amber Spyglass as a kid, but I'm very eager to see how their adventures continue in the next book.
