DON’T MISS THE EPIC FINALE TO LYRA’S STORY: THE ROSE FIELD, AVAILABLE NOW!
The spellbinding sequel to the modern fantasy classic The Golden Compass.
“The story gallops with ferocious momentum . . . Devilishly inventive.”—The New York Times Book Review
Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will—a boy on the run, a murderer—a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels.
Each is searching—Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father—but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together . . . until they are split apart.
Look for the modern fantasy classics of HIS DARK MATERIALS:
The Golden Compass • The Subtle Knife • The Amber Spyglass
And Lyra’s adventures continue in THE BOOK OF DUST:
La Belle Sauvage • The Secret Commonwealth • The Rose Field

This book had reminded me a lot of thee lord of the rings and for some reason wind in the willows, it was a lot more different than the first one. Alot more changes in this book than the first book. The chapters are so much longer and the plot line is even more different. New charecters are met and the daemons just get better. Not as good as the first one though. Still a good book overall.

Felt cut short. Also, not as exciting compared to the first book.
