Northern Lights by Philip Pullman
5.0
This whole series was one regret of mine from childhood, because I saw the dreadful movie when it came out on the DVD, but the books weren't available at my local library. So I just sort of grew up and came to terms with a fact that I'm too old to dig into it now. Except I decided to have a go anyways.
I am honestly blown away. It is very obviously a children's book, but it is also super rich and detailed and brutal in its plot and descriptions. Plus the anti-church aspect that happens to be a major thing in the end. Well structured and intelligently written, now I must read the sequels.
