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.

4.5
The book is full of awful adults (and a few good ones too) doing terrible research on children in the name of the church. Lyra is an interesting child with a brilliant mind. I won’t say I found her the most lovable main character, but she had some creative solutions to the situations she was in and she grew on me over time.
