His Dark Materials
His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass/The Subtle Knife/The Amber Spyglass | Philip Pullman
Published in 40 countries, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass has graced the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, San Francisco Chronicle, Book Sense, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. The Golden Compass forms the first part of a story in three volumes. The first volume is set in a world like ours, but different in many ways. The second volume is set partly in the world we know. The third moves between many worlds. In The Golden Compass, readers meet 11-year-old Lyra Belacqua, a precocious orphan growing up within the precincts of Jordan College in Oxford, England. It quickly becomes clear that Lyra's Oxford is not precisely like our ownnor is her world. In Lyra's world, everyone has a personal dmon, a lifelong animal familiar. This is a world in which science, theology and magic are closely intertwined. The Subtle Knife is the second part of the trilogy that began with The Golden Compass. That first book was set in a world like ours, but different. This book begins in our own world. In The Subtle Knife, readers are introduced to Will Parry, a young boy living in modern-day Oxford, England. Will is only twelve years old, but he bears the responsibilities of an adult. Following the disappearance of his explorer-father, John Parry, during an expedition in the North, Will became parent, provider and protector to his frail, confused mother. And it's in protecting her that he becomes a murderer, too: he accidentally kills a man who breaks into their home to steal valuable letters written by John Parry. After placing his mother in the care of a kind friend, Will takes those letters and sets off to discover the truth about his father. The Amber Spyglass brings the intrigue of The Golden Compass and The Subtle Knife to a heartstopping close, marking the third and final volume as the most powerful of the trilogy. Along with the return of Lyra, Will, Mrs. Coulter, Lord Asriel, Dr. Mary Malone, and Iorek Byrnison the armored bear, The Amber Spyglass introduces a host of new characters: the Mulefa, mysterious wheeled creatures with the power to see Dust; Gallivespian Lord Roke, a hand-high spy-master to Lord Asriel; and Metatron, a fierce and mighty angel. And this final volume brings startling revelations, too: the painful price Lyra must pay to walk through the land of the dead, the haunting power of Dr. Malone's amber spyglass, and the names of who will liveand who will diefor love. And all the while, war rages with the Kingdom of Heaven, a brutal battle thatin its shocking outcomewill reveal the secret of Dust.

This was a re-read for me, and the first book I finished after over a year of not reading. I'm glad I managed to do it.
I still love the story very much, I think Pullman did an amazing job. He's a great writer, and the characters are complex and interesting. It's truly a classic of #fantasy

I'm aware I disappeared for months. Life got in the way, and so did depression. I haven't touched a book in a long ass while.
I decided to gently coax myself into reading again by re-reading one of my childhood faves: The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman. I'm currently reading chapter 3

This series reminded me a lot of The Lion, The With, and The Wardrobe. I truly adored the characters, especially Lyra. Her identity bloomed throughout the series. The universe developed beautifully throughout as well.

The series did not disappoint and found ways to tie aspects of the universe in through the very end!

Overall, I loved that little hero!

“The witches have talked about this child for centuries past. Because they live so close to the place where the veil between the worlds is thin, they hear immortal whispers from time to time, in the voices of those beings who pass between the worlds. And they have spoken of a child such as this, who has a great destiny....But she must fulfil this destiny in ignorance of what she is doing, because only in her ignorance can we be saved.”

One of the best trilogies I have read in recent times. Though this epic story is directed towards children, I strongly feel that adults can enjoy these books too. For it is a rare enough thing to find magic, philosophy, theology and science fiction entwined so harmoniously in a single book.

This book was everything I hoped it would be and more! It was epic, captivating and brought back the feelings I had as a child being totally lost in a good book. The awe and wonder and sheer delight of being immersed in a new world! Wanting to read it as fast as possible to finish the story but also wanting to read it as slow as possible to make it last! ♥️

Now this is a series. Don‘t be put off by the failed attempts to turn this into a movie franchise in the past. This is a wonderful set of novels. Books 2 and 3 won‘t follow the same story as book 1, so be prepared for that. But this series is interesting, rich and unique. Such a great read. Highly recommend.

annahenke The movies are a travesty. But the books are 💯 4y
kimovsky Agree. They serve no purpose except to hopefully convince more readers to enjoy the books. It fills all the holes of a very complex plot that can never be done in a few hours of film. 4y

Pullman taught me that you can write for children and still have depth, layers and challenge. If I'd had a daughter she would have been called Lyra.

I read this book Jan 3-5, 2020 & gave it 5 ⭐️ on Good Reads. This was a reread for me. I‘d first read this back around 1997/1998 for a college course on children‘s lit so it was neat to see my post-it notes in the book. That said I was worried about rereading this book and whether it‘s hold up to my initial love it but it certainly did & I will be starting book #2 ASAP.

This was a #reread for me, as I originally fell in love with the books when they were released - and I'm still in love after all those years. Fantastic characters, a well thought through story, and even when you start to sense the wider scheme of things, you still have no clue how it will end.

Any fans of the book series and tv show on here? I‘m on episode 5, and I really enjoyed watching them, however I feel like lots of the more gruesome details got lost in the adaption (e.g the missing fish in Episode 5). Moreover, the special relationship between dæmon and human is gone ?.
I want to read the book series again these holidays though. Haven‘t read them since my childhood.

I‘ve been interested in this series since all the controversy over the movie in 2007. I‘m a little put off because its classified YA, but it was written back in the 90s before that was really a thing. I‘m hoping the writing is good because of that fact. I can‘t stand modern YA in the least. Any one read it? What did you think? #suggestions #notaYAfan #recommendations

TrishB I loved it, I don‘t think it‘s overly YA. 5y
GingerAntics @TrishB yeah, it doesn‘t seem like over dramatic teenaged angst or a love triangle fit into story. 5y
Branwen I love love LOVE this series! 😍 It's never really felt like YA, in my humble opinion. 5y
See All 17 Comments
GingerAntics @Branwen I think that‘s because that genre is newer. Harry Potter is listed under YA sometimes too, and it does not feel at all like the tripe that comes out for that genre these days. I was thinking that since it came out in the mid-90s before YA was a distinction it would be better. 5y
LibrarianRyan It's not overly YA. And a good reader in 5th grade + could totally get into it. There is a speech that I always used for my kids book club reading test. The test was to determine which book club a kid should be in. If they could read and understand the speech, and infer what was going on, they could do the older book club, if they could not, the younger. It's an excellent book!!! Loved by kids and adults alike. 5y
GingerAntics @LibrarianRyan oh that‘s interesting. I‘m feeling a lot better about this series now. I knew you guys would point me in the right direction. It seems the perfect thing to get into during banned books week, while I‘m at it. lol 5y
LibrarianRyan @GingerAntics Yes. Perfect for Banned books week. I always use this as one of the titles I talk about. 5y
ShelfRighteous Loved this one. And it doesn't feel like YA. Just that the main character is young. 5y
GingerAntics @ShelfRighteous I‘m so glad this series is getting so much love on Litsy. This is happening. I just got a short story that is a prequel to the series. I‘m going to get the first book of the series when I get paid at the end of the week. I‘m having a hard time getting a copy from the many libraries I have access to. Go figure. 5y
ShelfRighteous @GingerAntics Oh wouldn't have expected this problem🤣 I totally got hooked to the series and I think you'll enjoy it too❤ 5y
GingerAntics @ShelfRighteous for all the controversy surrounding the movie I‘m surprised we even have it. The library that has it has an over 6 month wait list on it. So I guess there are still folks into it. The college has it in a few places in the district, just not my campus. I could do an inter library loan, but I doubt I‘d have it anytime this week. I think I‘m going to look into that while I wait to get paid. 5y
esurient I am also not into YA, and this series was meh to me. I read it circa 2000 at ninteen and thought the basic worldbuilding was cool (daemons!) but the plot was middling and the ending utterly flat. IIRC, the controversy was that the author was an atheist and he considered this series atheist fantasy (contrast with Lewis's Narnia, Christian fantasy). YMMV, but that particular detail went over my head at the time, and I don't think it influenced... 5y
esurient ...my feelings. 5y
Scochrane26 I did audio on the 1st one years ago, but wasn‘t excited about it enough to finish the series. I think I was bothered by something that happens that‘s sad. My friend loves the series & has been very excited about the new book by Pullman. See what you think. 5y
batsy I feel like British authors in particular write books for younger readers that never feels like YA, like Susan Cooper, Alan Garner, Diana Wynne Jones, and Pullman is one of them. But you're right, they're all of another time in a way. Before YA became, well, YA 🙃 I loved this series a lot and thought it was beautifully written, but I read it when I was in uni. I'm hoping to revisit it soon to prepare for the new books. 5y
GingerAntics @batsy I saw the first book of the new trilogy. Apparently it‘s before this one starts, in the same world, so I almost bought it and read it. I‘ll have to stick with the short story prequel until I get paid. I agree with the assessment of British writers. They don‘t seem to do as much of the same old tired themes for YA their American counterparts do, but again this is before YA became a thing so that may play a bit of a role. 5y
GingerAntics @batsy I never knew that I had another of this author‘s books on my wish list. That one is for adults. I really think I‘m going to like this guy. 5y

Extremely imaginative, well-paced, detailed, carefully-developed characters, and a great “magic system” (not quite what it was, but close enough). I really enjoyed this trilogy, even if the author‘s simplistic understanding and impressions of religion (and implied disdain of it) in general left me kind of rolling my eyes.
