An excellent read. Revisiting the old with a new twist, and Pullman's prose is as engaging as ever. I found myself emotionally invested in the characters and breathing hard whenever a tragedy seemed to happen upon them. It wasn't a ridiculous amount of things, although the things that did happen were thoroughly fascinating. This was very comforting, like sitting in one's favourite armchair with a cup of coffee in a vintage mug. I'm very much looking forward to the sequels.
