Second book check!
Nobody prepared me for the plot twists and emotional rollercoasters ... Philip Pullman, these aren't books for children, what the *beep* :')
But I have to admit, it's been a while since I've lost myself in such a thought-through fantasy world(s). While reading, you feel the chapters to an endless world unfold - quite literally.

I love the mixture of different worlds, oh my God. They are in the north, so the bears have nordish surnames like Byrnison and Raknison. And they are called panserbjørne. I can't imagine anything better than that ;-;

At this point, okay, some details are lost in the movie. But it wasn't THAT bad, to be honest. There are quite a lot of scenes I can remember!

Iorek panserbjørn <3

The book and movie aren't that far apart for now. But daaamn, in Germany we say that Lyra is "eine notorische Lügnerin". I hope the book taught most children NOT to lie! (though it still doesn't feel like a book for younger children)

All of these wild magical words and worlds ... I sometimes need to sort my thoughts to find the correct translation. But that's very cool! I love the dæmon concept and world building! Also, I can't wait to finally get to know Iorek and the other panserbjørne in the book.
