What an interesting world this story presented! Lyra was an interesting, strong character, and her personality shone a lot throughout the story. I feel like I would need some guidance while reading this book if I was Lyra's age while reading it because some of the concepts are pretty lofty, but it's been quite interesting, especially coming from my background in Theology!

I'm going to have to read the next couple of books as soon as possible, because the story and concepts presented were pretty compelling. I really want to learn more about the world, and I have a feeling that the author has just about every concept neatly organized and ready to dole out in the next books.
