After a veerrrry long pause, I have finished off the Dark Materials trilogy.With the holidays quickly approaching I have been thinking about what gifts I should get for my nieces and nephews. Although Celia is only in first grade, she is already reading chapter books, and I have been trying to think of books that she might enjoy. This series came to mind before I started the third book. I knew it was probably too mature for her, but man, after the third boy, heck no! There was a lot of evil in this one! It was pretty intense. I didn't know if I could handle the part where Lyra and Pan had to separate from each other!
I definitely enjoyed the book, and the series as a whole. I think the first book was my favorite though. By the third book there were just so many characters and so many loose ends that had to be tied up, it got a little confusing at times. And, honestly, I still don't entirely get why the "dust" stopped leaving the world when Lyra and Will got there. Although, I guess it was pretty late when I finished the book, maybe I missed something. I'm also torn about the ending--for a young adult book it was really intense! Lots of death and hard and important decisions that needed to be made.
Overall it was really good....now I am pretty excited to move on to my next young adult series--Twilight!!!
