Here is the highly anticipated second installment of Philip Pullman's epic fantasy trilogy, begun with the critically acclaimed The Golden Compass. Lyra and Will, her newfound friend, tumble separately into the strange tropical otherworld of Cittàgazze, "the city of magpies," where adults are curiously absent and children run wild. Here their lives become inextricably entwined when Lyra's alethiometer gives her a simple command: find Will's father. Their search is plagued with obstacles—some familiar and some horribly new and unfathomable—but it eventually brings them closer to Will's father and to the Subtle Knife, a deadly, magical, ancient tool that cuts windows between worlds. Through it all, Will and Lyra find themselves hurtling toward the center of a fierce battle against a force so awesome that leagues of mortals, witches, beasts, and spirits from every world are uniting in fear and anger against it.

I tried at least twice to read this book. I couldn't get into it at all. I guess Pullman and I aren't a good match.

I loved Will's character, he is such a brave little boy! Altough at some point the book dragged a little, the introduction of this new character changed everything and made it all more interesting. And that chapter about Lee... I won't give away anything but let me just say I love him.

Interesting enough. Not one of my favourites, though. It was fast-moving, but at the same time...slow.
