I have been avoiding finishing the series. I knew the inevitable sense of loss and sadness that would follow the completion of the series--and I was right.
I wasn't expecting to love Lyra's story as much as I did, nor was I expecting the twists and the ending. I am really glad I knocked out the trio, but am inwardly sad and hoping that Mr. Pulman is working on a fourth--because I'd LOVE to see a few more. It was left quite open, and the potential is there.
One can hope.
I dread the coming of the movie--any deep meaning/intention will be lost in the Hollywood--ization. And the beauty and imaginativeness will be lost to so many.
Lyra's journey is one for all ages. Action-packed with several amazing, quirky, powerful characters; exciting plot twists, and a conclusion that you won't see coming.
Definitely worth the read.
