A Delicious Delight

A lyrical Lyra tale, multi layered like the aleithiometer, that resonates in my heart-mind. So many characters I warmed to, who built a wee kingdom in this readers inner world..

Voice improvements

I was not a big fan of Lyra’s voice actor but overall I enjoyed the story.

Outstanding book.

The conclusion of this trilogy fuses philosophy, poetry and adventure. It is truly one of the great fantasy / adventure books of English literature. Lyra, Will, Serafina Pekkala, Iorek Bernstein will live with me forever. Beautifully read and realised too.

Good book

Great series, enjoyed all three. Spoilers, would have liked a bit more detail for what happened to some of the minor characters, other than that a great listen. Very well performed.

Loved it.

The whole cast was amazing. I truly loved this series and got well caught up in the magic of these books. I can see why "the church" was upset about it, but it wouldn't be the first time nor will it be the last that a religion will be used in a book, or be seen as potentially evil in a book. I wouldn't take that part too seriously in my day to day life. I loved how the series was wound up too. Too many series end almost straight after the big battle leaving alot of questions to mind but this answered all the pressing ones. I thoroughly enjoyed this Audio book series.

Not a kids book

I’m glad I listened with my daughter…the concepts aren’t really appropriate. It gets weird. I’d recommend waiting for teens. Good voice acting though.
