A great adventure romp which immediately made we wonder why I haven’t read this before. I imagined a sort of steam punk alternative reality with a little magic sprinkled in. Everybody in this world has their own daemon an idea which Pullman explores really nicely, and overall the plot is a little sharper and more relevant than most in this category while really brings alive an alternative world. The ending felt really like it just pushed me towards immediately starting the next one in the series. A fun and recommended read. 📚 ★★★★
