: The Subtle Knife
Author: Philip Pullman
The plot thickens in the 2nd book of the trilogy as we meet 12-year-old Will, a boy from our world, who ends up the bearer of the subtle knife, an ultimate weapon many want. I love the developing relationship between Will and Lyra, the girl from the first novel, and it’s obvious the story is building to where the two will have prominent roles in the finale. In this story Will’s looking for his father and Lyra is helping him. In the process there is danger and adventure, and more of the ultimate plot of the series is unveiled, though we’re still not sure, exactly, who is good and who is evil. That’s a strange thing and I’m not sure where Pullman is going with it, but I suppose that will be explained in the final book.
