This is the second of a series.
I read the first book of the His Dark Materials trilogy about 3 years ago for a children's lit course in college. I liked it (The Golden Compass), but I knew I was not yet ready for another scary and emotional read like the first book. So I had a copy of the Subtle Knife and brought it to read over Christmas last year (the year before?) to my mother in law's house in New Hampshire. Well, that's where I am now. And I ran out of books to read (that I'd brought with me), so I read the Subtle Knife last night. Wow, was it ever good.

I won't spoil it for anyone. It is sufficient to say that I loved the book and now wonder where I can get my hands on a copy of the Amber Spyglass.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I am very much looking forward to reading this!

I'm almost done with a bookring book and as soon as I finish the last page I'm starting on this one! It's going to bump everything on my TBR down a turn :-D

I'll keep an eye out for the third book in the series...

Thanks so much for sending this my way! I loved, loved, loved it!
The ending almost killed me- I nearly ran to the bookstore right then because I wanted to find out what happened next! I finished it at work- I read the second to last chapter on the morning commute and then couldn't wait until the afternoon to finish :-)

I'm just itching to read the third book- the books on my TBR are probably hoping I never get my hands on it 'cause they know it'll bump them down another turn LOL :-D

Picked it up at the juliebaretto mini meetup in Manhattan.

RELEASE NOTES:

Gave this to a friend who wanted to read this series.
