Eh, not as great as "The Golden Compass." I was really looking forward to exploring the new world with Lyra. "The Subtle Knife" began in our world with a new character, Will. I was not excited by the new storyline. Once I accepted that the 2nd book seemed completely different, I started to be ok...
