The last part of one of my favourite trilogies.

"Lyra lies sleeping in a cave near a rainbow, drugged into unconsciousness by her mother, Mrs Coulter, whose love for her daughter closely rivals her own ruthless ambition. Now, the latter threatens to overcome the former, as she strives to prevent the events which are dependent on the decisions Lyra is fated to make. Meanwhile, Will-scarred and traumatised after his last, fatal meeting with his father-seeks blindly for her, with only two of Lord Asriel's angels as companions on his dangerous search. The two are fated to meet once more, however, and begin their most treacherous journey. For Lyra owes a great debt, and she must repay it-she must rescue her friend from the Land of the Dead. Neither are prepared for the terrible sacrifice they must endure, or for the universal consequences of their actions. Lyra and Will must play their part in the war between the worlds and heaven..." - amazon.co.uk synopsis

Obviously not released! The number of books in my house is getting out of control, so I'm having a big cull and am planning to release lots in the wild to free up some space. We already a hardback set of these, so hopefully someone else will enjoy it!

Journal Entry 5 by aussiejolo at Ely, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Monday, July 9, 2012
I found this a disappointing end to the series. This wasn't because of the ending, which I found sad but beautiful. It was because so many questions were left unanswered, and there seemed to be many contradictions. I also found the role Will and Lydia had to play to "save" the worlds very unconvincing. Compared to the first two books this was a big let down. It felt very much like it was made up as the writer went along and like he didn't know where the story was headed when he wrote the first two and just had to try and wrap it up somehow.
