The Amber Spyglass

I contribute my poor rating to the fact that I made a bad decision and read this first, rather than in the specific order it should have been read in. (I was in late elementary/early jr. high, admittedly it was a poor mistake on my part.) The only thing I remember taking from this was that I loathed the ending and the love story that came from it. If there's one thing I'm bad at, it's appreciating a sappy love story.
