It’s truly haunting to read Lyra’s thoughts on the conflict that has killed so many of her generation, and that ultimately killed her too. It’s like reading the memoirs of a ghost, as if she almost knew she would be claimed by it too. Her narrative voice is poignant and piercing to the core, yet never fails to maintain a deeply-struck connection with her reader.

Lyra was a beacon of hope for a drowning generation.
