Love that everything thats happening in here parallels with something or multiple things from real life, like cutting daemons > circumcision and trauma of religious mutilation, or the children believing and doubting Lyra as they flee, like the hebrew people doubted Moses as he lead them out of Egypt. The mixing of science, philosophy, and religion in here is really cool. Also love how "political" religion is here

"I will spiritually lobotomise children so they stay pure for the rest of their life, but not for my own child no no no, she will not go through the horrors that arent that bad actually, imagine a life of pure innocence and never ever doing a sin in your life yes yes"

I would not have liked this book as a child, not because its bad, but because I would have been too stupid for it. This story has so much going on and the theological and scientific muddling is great but the protagonist is literally a 12 year old who cannot sit still for 2 days and never wants to grow up. Ooh we love Lyra being Eve leaving paradise, but also being Moses with the Gyptians and leading people away
