One of my favourite books of all time- Pullman just crafts such brilliant intricate worlds with no page wasted, Lyra is one of my favourite FMC's to ever exist, Mrs Coulter is incredible, the prose is beautiful and intricate and the plot is fantastic. Gender and religion are talked about and woven into the world in such a brilliant, complex way. What a book.
