See allIn this book we were introduced a new character, Will that very different from Lyra. He was forced to grow up faster that other kids because of his situation. Where Lyra was mischievous and impulsive at times, Will was levelheaded and calm. And Lyra saw Iorik Byrnison within Will that made her trust him wholeheartedly.
I was very surprised how attached I was to Will's character.
Human vs Authority. Kinda mind blowing.
I watched Golden Compass long ago and remembered loving the movie. It ended in way that there would be a sequel so I searched it up. And turned out the movie was a flop—how sad I was when I learned this. And it was based on a book series. One thing that made me loved the movie so much was the bond between human and their daemon. There was just something about their deep connection that touched something inside me.
But for some reason I've been putting off reading the series because I was afraid I'd end up disliking them. LOL how wrong I was.
But honestly, it took times for me to get used to the writing style, but the second half of the book grabbed my attention just like that. And Lyra dear! She made me fell in love with this book! She is so witty and smart! Lord Asriel surprised me the most. I didn't expect him to be like THAT. Asshole. Oh, and Iorek Byrnison! My polar bear! I love him and lyra.
I know the trilogy was a critic towards religion, but I can't say much about it cause I don't really understand it fully.
the story itself was intriguing but I just cannot stand the mc. And the attraction between those two didn't appeal to me.
