The Amber Spyglass

A really disappointing conclusion to the otherwise brilliant series. What I really enjoyed in the first two books was the magical feeling I had when I was reading them. The setting was interesting and the plot was not your usual fantasy too. I knew that there was a “bigger picture” and that the author had a message he wanted to convey in his books. On a personal level I actually agree with his opinions, but that doesn't change the fact this book is just not that good. The magical feeling is gone here, character motivations are unclear, meaningless battles, lots of boring filler, grand metaphors falling apart, also one of the new worlds is extremely cringe-worthy... overall a huge disappointment and an unsatisfying ending to the trilogy.
