Wow! I was first interested in this book after reading the blurb of this book had definitely made me intrigued and wanted to figure out or more like find out what was going to occur. And I am so glad that I have read this book and being able to follow Lyra through the many challenges that she had to face. With these challenges in which she had to face definitely developed as a character. And with this it brought a lot to the story. The writing style of this book I had really enjoyed. With everything in which happened within this book, I was completely intrigued and invested into the story. And especially with how the ending of this book occurred. I am excited to continue the series, and read the next book to be able to find out what would happen next.
