It starts off slow, but the pay off towards the middle and end of the book is amazing, especially with the whole arc regarding the polar bear, Iorek, who is a loveable and stoic protector.
So much more is left uncovered that it leaves me reeling for more. A beautiful fantasy book.

I love the characters of the witches, especially in how they (to an extent) are similar to Milton's angels.
It's very easy to get immersed in this world.
