His Dark Materials: The Subtle Knife (Book 2)

His Dark Materials, Book 2

De: Philip Pullman

Narrado por: Philip Pullman, full cast

The spellbinding sequel to The Golden Compass, the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time," continues the epic adventure, catapulting listeners between worlds, and toward a devastating discovery.

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"The superb production of this fascinating fantasy epic makes it a heart-thumping listening adventure." (AudioFile)

"More than fulfilling the promise of The Golden Compass, this second volume starts off at a heart-thumping pace and never slows down." (Publishers Weekly)

"A resoundingly successful sequel." (Booklist)

amazing

amazing but some of my favorite characters died. I dont know who I hate more. her father or her mother.

Cast is phenomenal

Great story to listen to, because of the great cast. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Great story. Horrible music between chapters.

Great story. Horrible music between the chapters. please get rid of music. it isn't needed.

So we'll done

Like a fine radio play, I was totally invested in the performances. I couldn't be happier with the trilogy so far.

great listen

aside from the corney music scores it holds up very good. good listen all around

Very good story

I enjoyed this Book I found the series after I found the show on HBO these book was better than season 2 of the TV show I like how the book is fully cast that makes it even better

the musical interludes are brutal

The drawback to this recording is that you have to sit through the little musical riffs in between each chapter that are absolutely atrocious.
I still love this series, but the riffs just made it more obvious to me how this story line just isn't as exciting or riveting as in the Golden Compass.

Best Thing

Best book 📚 I loved it. It was awesome 👏 very very good but it is not very funny but it was so good.

4.5 stars!

The music between chapters got a little grating. I would have taken off less than star though, had I the option.

Good but not as exciting as the golden compass

We listened as a family and we all agreed that the story takes too long to say the same thing over and over. More storylines but too many events for plot points that were already explained. Not as exciting as the first.
