About this product

Product Information

HIS DARK MATERIALS IS NOW AN HBO ORIGINAL SERIES STARRING DAFNE KEEN, RUTH WILSON, JAMES McAVOY, AND LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA! The spellbinding sequel to The Golden Compass , the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time," continues the epic adventure, catapulting readers between worlds, and toward a devastating discovery. Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will--a boy on the run, a murderer--a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels. Each is searching--Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father--but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together...until they are split apart. A #1 New York Times Bestseller Published in 40 Countries "Just as quick-moving and unputdownable as The Golden Compass . . . . The mysteries deepen and the wonders grow even more extravagant." -- The Washington Post "Pullman's imagination soars . . . A literary rollercoaster ride you won't want to miss."-- The Boston Globe "The story gallops with ferocious momentum . . . Devilishly inventive." -- The New York Times Book Review Don't miss Philip Pullman's epic new trilogy set in the world of His Dark Materials! ** THE BOOK OF DUST ** La Belle Sauvage The Secret Commonwealth

"More than fulfilling the promise of The Golden Compass, this second volume starts off at a heart-thumping pace and never slows down....The grandly exuberant storytelling is sure to enthrall."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) "The intricacy of the plot is staggering...There is no doubt that the work is stunningly ambitious, original, and fascinating."--The Horn Book (starred review) "The character development as well as the relentless pace...make this a resoundingly successful sequel...it will leave readers desperate for the next installment."--Booklist (starred review) From the Trade Paperback edition.

I COULDN'T PUT THE BOOK DOWN!
The Subtle Knife is the sequel to The Golden Compass, a fierce, solemn, inventive fantasy by Philip Pullman that draws on such unlikely sources as Milton and particle physics. The Golden Compass took place in an alternate world where the Church has retained tight control of science and magic; The Subtle Knife moves back and forth between our world and another. Will Parry's father disappeared twelve years ago, shortly before Will was born. When menacing strangers come looking for his father's papers, he accidentally kills one of them. Will flees to Oxford, where a stray cat leads him through a hole in the air to Citagazze, the city between worlds, deserted by adults and haunted by invisible Specters.

The Subtle Knife is the sequel to The Golden Compass, a fierce, solemn, inventive fantasy by Philip Pullman that draws on such unlikely sources as Milton and particle physics. The Golden Compass took place in an alternate world where the Church has retained tight control of science and magic; The Subtle Knife moves back and forth between our world and another. Will Parry's father disappeared twelve years ago, shortly before Will was born. When menacing strangers come looking for his father's papers, he accidentally kills one of them. Will flees to Oxford, where a stray cat leads him through a hole in the air to Citagazze, the city between worlds, deserted by adults and haunted by invisible Specters. There, Will meets Lyra, who walked out of her world through a breach in the arctic sky at the end of The Golden Compass. While Will and Lyra join forces to search for their fathers, everyone else is searching for them and the treasures they carry: the golden compass and the Subtle Knife of Citagazze. The story is fast, intricate, and suspenseful, and both Lyra and Will are engaging protagonists. However, The Subtle Knife does suffer from being the middle book of a trilogy; the plot mainly serves to gather all the key figures and move them toward the scene of the next book's climactic battle. The book halts suddenly after a rapid series of disasters, leaving very little resolved and a host of subplots dangling. The Subtle Knife is a frustrating book, but not nearly as frustrating as not reading it would be. This is one of the most original and absorbing new fantasy series to appear for any age group in the past few years, and I'm waiting anxiously for the final book of the trilogy.

The Strugle continues!
This is the Second book in His Dark Materials Trilogy! I have found myself in love with this series Like (Oz, Harry Potter, and the Chronicles of Narnia) I can't get enough of Lyra's world. The book pics up right where the first one left off. Lyra has discovered that the world as she knows it isn't quite the same. She finds herself in a battle to save the very fabric of her world. This second novel leaves you in a fever pitch for the third. The books deserve all of the acclaim it has been getting, and is sure to go down in history as a classic!This is the Second book in His Dark Materials Trilogy!
