The Subtle Knife

The Subtle Knife is a book written by Phillip Pullman.It is the sequel to The Golden Compass and it was published on the year 1997.Like the first book it recieve positive review.

The good
.The story is much better than the first one.
.I absolutely loved Will.

The bad
.Ending with nothing to explain(I mean at the ending it didn't reveal anything I know there's a third book but the ending was just like a big hole).

Quick summary
Will Parry (a 12 year old boy)accidentally kills man,so when he tries to escape the police he found an invisible window that send him to Cittagazze.Will searched around and found the place was deserted(he does have a mother who he left with his kind piano teacher)when he went to a store to get food he met a strange girl named Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon...................that's all for now.

The conclusion
I really thought that this book is better than the first one, it has a darker tone the adventure seems bigger.To me Will was a better lead character than Lyra.A very good sequel to the first book.

Rating:8 out of 10
