The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
5.0
An excellent ending to a fantastic series about growing up and following your own path. This trilogy is staying in my collection.
From a theology standpoint, this story is not anti-Christian (although there are a lot of negative ties and perspectives with the church that will bother some) and in fact encourages the core structures of the faith in a new (and arguably) healthier perspective. This is the one life we get, and to help others and our loved ones grow and surpass the previous generation, we should live it with kindness, joy, curiosity, and love.
