AWESOME AND EXCITING. I totally loved this book. There was never a dull moment for me and i felt that there was so many plot twists and problems and such that it made an excellent plot with not too many confusing questions.

Got to a point where I couldn't stand Lyra's voice, then the realization that I just don't wanna commit to audiobooks checked out from the library (or at all) especially when there's a waiting list. The urgency is insane. I will finish this in print, though, because the story is so fascinating.

I've been putting off this trilogy for too long, and finally got my hands on a full cast audiobook. And it was so fun!

I could dissect this middle grade fantasy, but honestly, I don't want to. It was easy to suspend my disbelief and enjoy the world building and main story alike.

Re-reading for the first time since childhood, and this book KILLED me. Couldn't put it down.

I don't know why it took me so long to read this, or why I didnt when I was a teenager. I really enjoyed this story and learning about the story along with Lyra.

Can I have a daemon please?
