Review Detail

The first book of His Dark Materials is set in Lyra's world, a world that is similar to our old fashioned England, but completely different. A world with talking polar bears and daemons. Daemons are part of your soul that takes the form of an animal that represents your personality.

This magical story starts off with Lyra in her beloved university. It tells the story of her adventures that follows the trail of a mysterious substance called Dust. She travels the ice and sails the world, is kidnapped and tested on, all which test her skills. Lyra is a strong character which makes her a spectacular heroine.

With a lovely story, this book really makes you think. I defiantly recommend it.
