Las últimas aventuras de Lyra y Will entre universos está grabadas en estas páginas. El final de la Autoridad está cerca y el destino de todos los universos recae en un par de niños.
En conjunto, la trilogía de La Materia Obscura nos presenta la lucha de la inocencia contra el pecado, un encuentro entre el bien y el mal donde nada está escrito y los bandos no son lo que parecen. El final de esta saga se sella con el amor y una dolorosa separación.

Why did the protagonist change from Lyra to will? She was far more interesting. I enjoyed this more as a teen than now. The first one holds up though!

One of the best trilogies I read in my teens. The world is enticing and I remember falling for the strength of the lead character and her companions. I remember feeling a loss when the story ended. Like I lost a friend or a part or my self in the book

El final de la saga se me ha hecho largo, confuso y decepcionante. Con la cantidad de deux-ex-machina con que está plagada la historia, me parece pretencioso que el autor finja ser cruel con sus personajes en la resolución del final. No cuela. Claro que tampoco cuela el romance apresurado con el que ha querido dar dramatismo a un epílogo soso y sin objetivo.
Tampoco me ha convencido el aire posmodernista con que aborda el fondo científico de la historia. Bien la crítica a las religiones, pero no había necesidad de ponerse tan new-age.

My opinion of this novel has been greatly influenced by the fact that I was in the fifth grade when I first read it. I also read it before I read either The Golden Compass or The Subtle Knife so I ended up reading it no less than seven times in order to wrap my head around the myriad story-lines. And, through the resultant confusion, crisis-of-faith, and the heart-wrenching ending, I loved it. I'm not sure if I would hold it in the same regard had I read it for the first time only recently. However, I do know that, bias or not, this novel is very well written and achieves a depth of characterization that I don't think I've found matched anywhere else.
The Amber Spyglass is complex with regards to the plot, but not over-wrought and Pullman's genius shows itself in how neatly everything comes together. He spares no effort in fleshing out all of the characters without affecting the pacing of the story. To me, The Amber Spyglass fits the science-fiction genre at only a superficial level. There are multiple universes and unique technology that we encounter, but, these play a very peripheral role, which is another reason I fell in love with it.

Book 3 of his dark materials. I listened to the audiobook and parts of it were so action-packed and descriptive that I almost felt like reading it would have helped with more understanding. All of the different worlds essentially come to war to fight "God". Will & Lyra face many difficult obstacles and end up falling in love. Such a great conclusion to the series!
