This book was really great!
While all the information was incorporated beautifully into the story, it still felt a little more like an information dump than the first one.

I ended up finishing this as an audiobook which was very enjoyable as it's a full cast with Pullman narrating. It still amazes me that this is a youth book. These are some heavy concepts, but I love that the author isn't talking down to his audience.
