Synopsis
The spellbinding sequel to The Golden Compass , the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time," continues the epic adventure, catapulting readers between worlds, and toward a devastating discovery. Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will--a boy on the run, a murderer--a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels. Each is searching--Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father--but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together...until they are split apart.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

    good book

    Subtle Knife, the second Dark Materials book, is very good. The descriptions are vivid, and I trusted the character Will Parry even more than Lyra when I met her in book one. The book is long, and sometimes I felt impatient for the story to continue as characters would go back and tell people what the reader already found out from somebody else telling them, but the ideas are drawn together in a really remarkable way, and the impatience I felt was because I didn't want to wait to find out what happened. The subject is really scary to think about -- esp. the strained relationships between certain adults and children. This is a book I would have swallowed whole when I was younger, but it might have given me some scary dreams. Many adults might say this is not a children's book -- or at ...

    Fascinating and never dull

    I fell in love with Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials series since the moment I started reading it. They contain a fabulous mix of science fiction, magic, politics, religion, and the difference between adults and children that is hard to find. He has an uncanny ability to use complex subjects in a breathtaking story that you just can't put down. Definitely great reading for a vast audience.

    Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman-His Dark Materials #2

    In this 2nd installment of His Dark Materials Trilogy, Lyra has passed through the portal in the sky created by her father. As the boundaries between worlds begin to dissolve, Lyra and her daemon help Will Parry in his search for his father and for a powerful, magical knife. This book is just as fast moving and entralling as the 1st was (Golden Compass). This is as rich and complex of a fantasy novel that any adult reader could wish for. On the the 3rd book!

    The Subt;le Knife

    A fascinating book in a 3 part series. The author writes with a sense that you don't want to put the book down, you HAVE to know what is going to happen next. And what an interesting concept, what the knife can do. I won't tell you what the knife can do, you have to read it yourself! I recommend the other 2 books, too!

    The Subtle Knife

    This is the second book in the three part series that starts with "The Golden Compass." The first book ended so shockingly, that you'll want to read this one to help figure out more of the plot. Lyra and Pan meets up with Will and together they search for her dad. The knife has some interesting abilities. This is not a book I would recommend to elementary children because of the violence.
