The Subtle Knife & The Golden Compass shared by leali

The Subtle Knife by Phillip Pullman was a book that, in my opinion, was the most interesting out of the His Dark Materials series. If you do not recognize this series, I'm sure you are aware of the first book, The Golden Compass. The Golden Compass started in a world unfamiliar to us with Lyra. Lyra is a girl who lives in Jordan College and has a daemon called Pantalaimon. Daemons begin to take an important role in the second book, The Subtle Knife. This book starts in the world that we live in with Will. Will's mother gets sick and people start coming to his house to question about his father. One day, he sees a window to another world and steps into it. There, he meets Lyra, and starts to help each other to their own goals: to get the subtle knife, to find Will's father, and to find the source of Dust, the unique elementary particle introduced in the first book of the series.
