The ongoing mystery with adventures of unforgettable characters, this book was everything I needed to read at the moment! I really liked the wholesome vibes and the intriguing nature of the story.

Lyra was an adorable child! How she fought her fears, showed empathy and compassion towards others and how she would never step back from taking care of her dear ones, was really admirable. My favorite bit was the bonding between Lyra and the bear, Iorek Byrnison.. the potrayal of souls as demons was also interesting to read. But most of all, the book helped me overcome the reading slump so it says a lot about it.. 😊

Looking forward to continue the series.. ✨
