BOOK REVIEW: Northern Lights by Philip Pullman . So I pushed myself to read this before the tv series came out, and I’m not disappointed. I fully understand now why this is such a classic. I have fallen in LOVE with Lyra and Pan, and also Iorek! It’s one of those books where you’re instantly hooked, no having to ‘get into the story the first 100 pages’ I saw that this series made the BBC’s 100 most inspiring books list, and I haven’t even finished the series and already agree. Honestly the only let down is that I didn’t order the whole series in one go, so now I have to wait until the other 2 books arrive before I get to meet Will! . If you had a dæmon, what animal would it be? I like to think mine would be something like a hedgehog! 🦔 . P.S. please no spoilers for the tv show! My family and I are saving it to watch it all together during the holidays! 🎄 . . . #johannasreviews #bookreview #northernlights #hisdarkmaterials #philippullman #bookcover #bookcoverart #theamberspyglass #thesubtleknife #bookseries #booktrilogy #bookstagram #booksta #booksofinsta #booksofig #bookclassics #classicbooks #childrensclassics #childrensbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B4sWeDAACx1/?igshid=ei6b0n511k8j

Anyway, Iorek, the Armored Bear.

If a coin comes down heads, that means that the possibility of its coming down tails has collapsed. Until that moment the two possibilities were equal. But on another world, it does come down tails. And when that happens, the two worlds split apart. Philip Pullman, The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials, #1). 💫. I read and heard this book on audio at least four times growing up. I love this world and the movie 🎥. I recommend this book 📖 for everyone ! #bookphotography #bookstagram #books #hisdarkmaterials #thegoldencompass #thesubtleknife #theamberspyglass #daemon #fantasy #magic (at North Bay, Ontario)

Good evening bookstagram! What a beautiful warm night! I’m having a tidy-up of my bookshelves and came across these four... I have a confession to make! I’ve never read His Dark Materials! There has been so much hype about #bookofdust and so I’m curious about where to start! Should I read them in publication order or should I start with Book of Dust? Why do you think of this series?? . @penguinbooksaus @scholastic_au @wickstockcandleco #hisdarkmaterials #labellesauvage #northernlights #thesubtleknife #theamberspyglass #philippullman #bookishcandle #bookandcandle #bookish #instabook #bookstagram #homelibrary #igreads #books #bibliophile #bookgram #bookworm #reader #booksofinstagram #booklife #bookphoto #wickstockcandleco

It has taken me 14 years to complete His Dark Materials. Yes, 14 years. I was 12 when I first read ‘Northern Lights’ and then the horrible movie came out and a friend of mine told me she didn’t like the ending and that was reason enough for me to not continue with the last two books. • • I’m really glad I decided to read it now as an adult. I know so many things would’ve been lost to my younger self. • • I would say ‘Northern Lights’ is my favourite of the three but I enjoyed the other two as well, even though ‘The Subtle Knife’ threw me off a lot because I was not expecting the story to go in the way it went. I can also see why ‘The Amber Spyglass’ has so many mixed reviews but I enjoyed the ending (my younger self wouldn’t have enjoyed it though) and it’s true I have more questions that answers but I was strangely satisfied with it. • • My only problem was Lyra’s development. By the end she didn’t resemble the feisty girl we met in ‘Northern Lights’. I guess Pullman had his reasons, but I felt a bit uneasy about that. • • • • • • • • #bookreview #hisdarkmaterials #beautifulbooks #booksbooksbooks #northernlights #thesubtleknife #theamberspyglass #coverlust

Original book cover design

Finally finished reading book 2 of #hisdarkmaterials #thesubtleknife by @philippullmanofficial I was really excited to read this novel since I loved the 1st book so much. When I started reading it, I did like there is a new protagonist who helps Lyra and is 1 character the author has planned out. I really liked Will's character and love the interaction between both him and Lyra. I also love that this novel give different perspectives of different characters from the last novel and new characters. The story in a whole I think is good...but I don't liked this novel as much as the 1st. I'm not saying it's bad, but I just prefer book 1 because it just has so much kind of fantasy that I love. This novel takes it different by having characters go to different worlds and that's not a bad thing, but I prefer going back to the original world where there are bears, daemons, and the world is different than ours. So, in a whole, I think this novel is a great follow-up and highly recommend it. It's just not my favorite. If I have to rate it, I would give it just 3.5/5 or just 4/5 stars ✨ I hope you enjoy my review. Soon I will read the final book and post about it. Take care! https://www.instagram.com/p/CeRzzFyBO3K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

His dark materials 🧭 ❄️ Me alegro mucho de haber releído esta trilogía (he querido hacerlo desde hace mucho para ver la serie 👀) y tengo que decir que la escritura se hace a veces un poco tediosa por la cantidad de descripciones, que hoy en día no se ven mucho en los libros contemporáneos, sin embargo, la historia es si misma es maravillosa ❤️ 🧭 A pesar de haber transcurrido más de 10 años desde la última vez que leí sobre los daimonions, hoy a mis 24 me encuentro igual de maravillada con la idea ❤️, el mundo de Lyra es tan misterioso y mágico que lo amo. Obviamente ahora algunas actitudes de Lyra me estresan un poco pero es entendible ya que ella aún tiene 12 años y yo no jajaja. ❄️ De los 3, el segundo es mi favorito, la aparición de Will hace que la historia cambie totalmente la dinámica… si bien no es el personaje más simpático del universo me gusta mucho su trasfondo y su interacción con Lyra. 🧭 Y además debo decir que el último libro es mi menos favorito porque tiene unos cambios de perspectiva que hacen que se haga eteeeerno el libro. Sin embargo, la amistad entre Lyra y Will me encanta y llegar el final da un buen cierre. ❄️ Aparte, los libros presentan un interesante punto de vista sobre el bien y el mal, el cielo e infierno, que hizo interesante la lectura, sobre todo del tercer libro. 🧭 “𝑀𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑖́ 𝑑𝑒 𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑒𝑙 𝑏𝑖𝑒𝑛 𝑦 𝑒𝑙 𝑚𝑎𝑙 𝑠𝑜́𝑙𝑜 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑎𝑛 𝑙𝑎𝑠 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑠 𝑑𝑒 𝑙𝑎𝑠 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑠, 𝑛𝑜 𝑙𝑜 𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑒́𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑠 𝑠𝑜𝑛.
