The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Philip Pullman’s The Amber Spyglass is the third and final book in the His Dark Materials trilogy, following The Subtle Knife and The Golden Compass. Unfortunately, as part of a series, I don’t know how to effectively describe the book without giving away too much about the first ones.
Out of the three books, I think I can definitely say that I liked this one the best. I found it to explore the characters quite a bit more than the other books, and it had a more fascinating (and often faster moving) plot. I also liked the over-arching ideas in the book. I found the (fictional) look at authority, revolution, freedom, and eternity to be quite interesting.
The only thing about this book that stands out as not being particularly in my favour would be the ending. I found the ending to be abrupt and cheesy.
All-in-all, however, I did enjoy reading His Dark Materials and especially The Amber Spyglass. I found it to be a well rounded book with interesting characters, plot, and ideas. For fans of easy-to-read fiction, this would be a good series to check out!
