I want a dæmon so bad. And I love the world that is being built around us. It’s so fascinating and Pullman will masterfully slip in new elements at the drop of a hat without disrupting the story’s cadence or feel. I love learning about the world through Lyra’s eyes and although I sense a lot of tough choices on the horizon, her wonder and innocence really propels the story to new heights.

This book reads like a fairytale. I’m intrigues by the world we’ve been introduced to (and jealous that I don’t have a dæmon). The way the story continued to flow even as we were learning more and more about the world was flawless. Having young protagonist always helps because we the readers get to learn with them. The story kept a steady flow and never failed to have my interest piqued. 8/10

That was actually scary! I felt my heart racing and my muscles tensing. It so amazing how immersed in this world Pullman is able to make the reader feel.

Kind of a slow start where I felt like I didn’t have a clue what was going on. But as the story grew I realized that was clever plotting by the author because it makes the reader feel how Lyra must feel living at Oxford. The dæmons are so interesting and I can’t wait to learn more about them.
