Synopsis: Not putting any since they contain spoilers ^^'.


My Opinion: I loved loved loved this series.
You can read my review about the first book HERE.

I think I already mentioned how scared I am when I read series that the next installment won't be as good as the previous one and I'll end up so disappointed. It was the case with His Dark Materials because I really loved the first novel and couldn't see how it could be better. Verdict: the rest were even better... yes, they are.
I already wrote in my previous review how rich and original the world created by Philip Pullman is but I was far from it. I was really carried in a universe so magical, incredible, complex, fascinating that I never had enough it.
The characters are also diverse, interesting and lovable. I dare anyone to not fall for those two kids. And may I talk about Lyra's parents? They are the perfect examples of why we shouldn't judge characters too quickly because everything isn't black or white... I'll leave it at that since I don't want to spoil the books.
As for the plot, what can I say? It is even more smart, gripping and reflexive than expected.

All those elements make His Dark Materials a wonderful series for both youngsters and adults. I don't know the other Philip Pullman's novels but if I were to judge him based on those three books, I'd say he's a fantastic story-teller. I'll make sure to try his other children's books.

To summarize: totally recommended!!
