I loved this one way more than the previous, but there was something that didn't amuse me. The relationship between Lyra and Will, how submissive she is toward him most of the time and it didn't really make sense to me, since she had such a lead role on Northern Lights, it didn't make sense to me how she was acting. I didn't feel that she was acting that way because of how her relationship with Roger was and she was trying to maintain her promise to never betray again. But when Roger was mentioned it was such a brief mention and so meaningless, it seemed like, that I couldn't connect the two things. Other than that, I loved this one, the mysteries and secrets we unfold are exquisite.
