A genuinely engaging first novel in the series. The characters and the world are so new, fresh, and captivating. Pullman expects a lot from his reader but also lays the foundation of the world so clearly for new fantasy readers to grasp - ahem me.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, Death, and Violence
Minor: Abandonment
