The Subtle Knife
by Philip Pullman
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Lyra and her daemon return as she and 12-year-old Will Parry are in a desperate flight for Will's life. They are drawn closer to Will's father and to the Subtle Knife, a deadly, magical, ancient tool that cuts windows between worlds. Through it all, the pair are drawn deeper and deeper into a fierce battle they may not survive.
Review:
"More than fulfilling the promise of The Golden Compass, this second volume starts off at a heart-thumping pace and never slows down....The grandly exuberant storytelling is sure to enthrall."-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Review:
"The intricacy of the plot is staggering...There is no doubt that the work is stunningly ambitious, original, and fascinating."-The Horn Book (starred review)
