The Amber Spyglass

like I hear what you're SAYING about how this book went bonkers off the rails
but my HEART says it was still awesome upon re-reading??

I will note that, much like the delicate mental state required to read the alethiometer, I was just trying real hard not to think about gender roles while re-reading? like I think if you dug into it like at all there's some wackness w/r/t sexuality in here but I'm just not thinking about it byeee
