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 (even if Lyra is not anymore the Lyra of the first book, and I hate this kind of submission that she has towards Will) 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.
