In the astonishing finale to the His Dark Materials trilogy, Lyra and Will are in unspeakable danger. With help from Iorek Byrnison the armored bear and two tiny Gallivespian spies, they must journey to a dank and gray-lit world where no living soul has ever gone. All the while, Dr. Mary Malone builds a magnificent Amber Spyglass. An assassin hunts her down, and Lord Asriel, with a troop of shining angels, fights his mighty rebellion, in a battle of strange allies—and shocking sacrifice.

As war rages and Dust drains from the sky, the fate of the living—and the dead—finally comes to depend on two children and the simple truth of one simple story.

    As far as fantasy series go, I found this trilogy to be more thought provoking than most while not having nearly as well-planned of a fantasy universe. Religion is a central topic to the series and the book sask some very interesting questions about Biblical myths. In asking whatever has happened to angel sentiments since the initial revolt, Pullman treads on some good uncovered ground. Some of the oomph is lost in the background of how this universe ticks, many of those explanations seem rushed and contrived.
