The first book of the trilogy is actually very nice: nicely written and well plotted. From the second onward, Pullman begins losing the thread of the story, the narration gets harder to read and new characters are introduced and removed before becoming memorable, while old ones are just forgotten until the grand finale.
But the thing that really got on my nerves, maybe, was that on the begin of the second book Pullman promised a church-sponsored army of zombies bent to the destruction of parallel universes, and nothing of the kind actually happened.
A nice book all in all, but there sure are better ways to spend your time.
