My Thoughts

THE AMBER SPYGLASS was my favorite of the series. It was very bittersweet, but I loved it. The religious conflict with the Authority and Metatron and who they actually are in the story (and what Dust is) made me examine my own beliefs and compare them to Pullman’s world. I enjoyed the thought-provoking nature of the story and I felt in no way Pullman was belittling my beliefs. I simply felt it was different, like many are, and created a something enjoyable to read. I adore Lyra and Will and their daemons and I wish I could stay with them a little longer.
