As the boundaries between worlds begin to dissolve, Lyra and her daemon help Will Parry in his search for his father and for a powerful, magical knife.

She had asked: What is he? A friend or an enemy?

The alethiometer answered: He is a murderer.

When she saw the answer, she relaxed at once.

Lyra finds herself in a shimmering, haunted otherworld – Cittàgazze, where soul-eating Spectres stalk the streets and wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky.

But she is not without allies: twelve-year-old Will Parry, fleeing for his life after taking another's, has also stumbled into this strange new realm.

On a perilous journey from world to world, Lyra and Will uncover a deadly secret: an object of extraordinary and devastating power.

And with every step, they move closer to an even greater threat – and the shattering truth of their own destiny.

Review of 'The Subtle Knife' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Entirely different from the first book in tone and scope, but continuing the excellent story and delivering everything that was promised and more. Suffers a little from second-in-the-trilogy syndrome, meandering and not quite satisfying on its own.

Again I listened to the excellent audiobook version, by the author and a full cast.
