The second book in the ""Dark Materials"" trilogy. Will is 12 years old and he's just killed a man. Determined to discover the truth about his father's disappearance, he steps through a window into another world. There, he meets a girl called Lyra who, like himself, is on a mission.

I really like The Subtle Knife! My favourite character is Lyra and Pan. I would definitely recommend this if you like fantasy fiction/ science fiction.

It was very adventurous and descriptive, but sad a likable character dies.

It was an interesting multi universe book. From the first book northen light the transition was not exactly smooth but worked. Almost all characters from the first book made it all the way through to the second book but some weren’t there or had very little role. Lyra and Will were the main characters and you follow their journey but also the journey of other character, there is multiple plot lines going on at the same time. It is a little hard to get started but once the action really commences it begins to become a book that you just can’t put down. I would recommend the whole trilogy to people who like reading about super natural things but wouldn’t recommend it to people who have a clear idea of what they think angels and ghosts look like because there are some vividly described images that are not necessarily the normal pictures people think of when they think of angels. This is a really great book.

Phillip Pullman has been dedicated to making this book as it is positively astounding.

I thought it was great and very exhilarating, it could be scary and emotional. I liked Iroke Byrnis the armoured bear.( I’m not sure I spelt his name right.) I would recommend it to someone who wasn’t squeamish or emotional.
