I'm really torn on where I land with this book. Lyra is such a fun character, the bears are awesome, and the overall world is really neat. On the other hand the main character has a device that can answer any question you could imagine and she NEVER uses it.

Overall I think if you're looking for a fun and unique fantasy read it's a safe bet you'll enjoy it. It was a great book club pick and gave us a lot to talk about!
