I read His Dark Materials way back, when I was perhaps 13, and that was probably the right time in my life to read it because I’d never been as emotionally invested in a character before as I was in Lyra.
I genuinely feel like reading that trilogy made me a better person, weird to say.
I haven’t read the books in a long time, but they have a place on my bookshelf in recognition of what they meant to adolescent me.
His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
Concept was great but I really didn’t like how the story developed past book 1. I know the series has its fans, but it’s a big nope for me.
I’m certainly one of those fans.
