DON’T MISS THE EPIC FINALE TO LYRA’S STORY: THE ROSE FIELD, AVAILABLE NOW!

The spellbinding sequel to the modern fantasy classic The Golden Compass.

“The story gallops with ferocious momentum . . . Devilishly inventive.”—The New York Times Book Review

Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will—a boy on the run, a murderer—a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels.

Each is searching—Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father—but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together . . . until they are split apart.

“A literary rollercoaster ride you won’t want to miss.”—The Boston Globe

i listen to this every couple of years

one of the best audio books i have ever listened to. of course it didnt hurt that the book is great, but the performance, the cast, the production is excellent as well. this aoplies to the whole trilogy and cannot wait for the new one in october.

I cry over book deaths! Wanna fight about it?

RIP. You'll know who I'm talking about QQ. Why did it have to be so?!

Expertly done

Multiple actors voicing different characters.
RECOMMEND IMMENSELY.
Couldn't have been done better.
Great story & writing...

Full cast vs narrator

My goodness. The use of a full cast to me was distracting to say the least I fear. I found the acting seriously over-done —especially the witches and the aeronaut and his daemon Hester. I don’t know where they got it but it sounded like it was from old cowboy movies. Really awful but unfortunately only one example. I would much rather Mr. Pullman had just narrated the whole story. I know it was recorded a while ago but the cast’s director made it sound like it was made in the 1940’s! Of course the story was very good but a bit of a disappointment after The Golden Compass.

fascinating way of reading a book

I cried, I laughed, I scorned, I giggled when I was running on a treadmill in the gym or walking back home, ignoring all those curious looks around, because I enjoyed so much.
