Also, as the TV series was my most recent revisit to this tale, I had forgotten how blatantly anti-religion Pullman is (much removed by HBO to encourage a larger audience) and - even though he's not physically in this book at all - what an overall asshole the abusive and murderous Lord Asriel is. That said, however, I just wasn't a huge fan of the artist's style here, and I would have been WAY confused - actually way MORE confused - if I didn't already know the story so well from the original book and Season Two of the excellent HBO series. That said, The Subtle Knife was my favorite of the whole "Dark Materials" trilogy, (all three of which were far better than Pullman's on-going "Book of Dust" follow-up).
The Golden Compass was a revelation, with its alternate world building, daemons, armored bears - everything, really. This entry was posted in and tagged fantasy, fiction, reviews by Bill Wake.
It blends an interesting mix of scientific and religious ideas, with a notable anti-organized-religion bias that will put some people off. Overall, the series is compelling and interesting.
We’re treated to an unlikely evolution that sounds almost plausible, another amazing tool, and a struggle affecting angels and demons, the living and the dead. The story continues and concludes with Lyra, Will, and many others. They quest on, meeting with enemies and unexpected allies in different worlds. Lyra ends up in a different world, and meets Will from our world. She acquires an amazing compass that helps guide her on a dangerous journey through what we’d call a fantasy realm because it has witches and armored bears. We meet a girl named Lyra in Oxford in another world. The Golden Compass:This story is set in a world where part of your personality takes the form of an animal (called a daemon, but not like the ones in Unix:). It’s hard to review this series without giving away too much, but here goes: The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass.
