4.5
Good book that was more similar to the feeling of the tv series, his dark materials, rather than the original golden compass books. I would say it moves past the age range of young adult and deals with more adult topics even though the characters are young.
Content Warnings
Moderate: Animal cruelty
Minor: Alcoholism, Child death, Cursing, Death, Sexual content, Torture, Grief, and Murder
