This book really moved me, at the same time it is far from being perfect, so it's hard for me to judge. I think most of the negative aspects of this book come down to being forced in some parts of it. I felt that some of the problems got solved too conveniently and some of the characters decision and action were believable but still underexplained. Mary plotline felt a little boring sometimes, but I still appreciated it. In general I felt that this book was a little bit slow, sometimes for the better sometimes for the worse.
Despite these problems, I really liked this book: the ending was really emotional, I loved the dynamic between Will and Lyra and their trip to the land of the dead(I don't know how it is called in english), Marisa and Lord Asriel had a beautiful conclusion even if I would have liked to see more of them, and above all I liked the themes of the book religion, love, maturity, morality.
I still decided to give it five stars, before the last 30 pages I would have give it four but I liked the ending too much.
