A review by raincorbyn
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman

3.0

Super clunky exposition and a disappointingly generic YA protagonist, but the ideas and setting are really inventive and cool, which is what I come to fantasy for, ultimately. I'm a sucker for Christian-mythos stuff too, so I'm excited to see where this goes, while hoping we get fewer plot-dispenser characters, and have more development on-screen, as it were.
