External Reviews
"As always, Pullman is a master at combining impeccable characterizations and seamless plotting, maintaining a crackling pace to create scene upon scene of almost unbearable tension. This glittering gem will leave readers of all ages eagerly awaiting the next instalment of Lyra’s adventures." - Publishers Weekly.
"I think it was a brilliant sequel to the northern lights book (the first book in his dark materials trilogy) very deep characters & a mysterious plot. Excellent book and defiantly worth reading along with the rest of the series." - Waterstones Review.
