A review by amyapple
Northern Lights by Philip Pullman

3.0

The world building elements were fantastic and the political elements were interestingly wielded into this story.

I cannot imagine a young middle grade reading understanding those but I suppose the child protagonist places it into a kids book category.

Well written however a little slow on pacing and insufferable adult characters. I should of gathered this would be it since La Belle Sauvage was the same pace wise.

I’m interested to see how the story continues and then watch the TV/Movie adaptations.
