It'll probably be a few weeks until I get to read the end: very frustrating!Īnd yes I cried when a certain character died!!! He was my fave. ![]() ![]() ![]() I just need to collect more points on certain websites so I can order the next book. The book was good, and I wasn't sold on the ending of the last book either, so maybe the third one will be better. No thanks, that's not ym thing at all.īut we'll see. is that even how the idiom goes in English?), and the Christian themes became insanely real. Things happened very quickly and almost comically (despite being foreshaded throughout the book), metaphors more of less came to life (that whole taking his father's coat-thing. Until, like, the last five pages? Man, those were not good. And I enjoyed that we got to see other people take the narrative, such as the witches and Lee Scoresby. at least at first!), but somehow it all worked really well. ![]() It was just a bit too much with the alternative universes and freaking Will taking over as a POV character at times (I liked Lyra a lot less from his perspective. At first I thought I wouldn't like this as much as the first book. ![]()
