A sequel that for sure ramped up the tension!

They bring in travelling between worlds as a frequent feature in this book, which is a delicate balance to strike without being excessive but I think Pullman pulled it off. Once again fascinating to see how a couple of pre-teens approach something as intense as a multi-dimensional quest. They bring in more religious elements in this book, including having...God himself become the main antagonist? I'm currently neutral on that decision though I am curious as to how they're going to pull it off.

Teared up just like I did last time when Lee died. You did good my man, rest easy.

Locked in for book three!
