Title: The Subtle Knife Pdf His Dark Materials, Book 2
Coming soon! A new HBO series, His Dark Materials, based on Pullman's books.
The spellbinding sequel to The Golden Compass, the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time", continues the epic adventure, catapulting listeners between worlds and toward a devastating discovery.
Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will - a boy on the run, a murderer - a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels.
Each is searching - Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father - but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together...until they are split apart.
A number one New York Times best seller.
Published in 40 countries.
"Just as quick-moving and unputdownable as The Golden Compass.... The mysteries deepen and the wonders grow even more extravagant." (The Washington Post)
"Pullman's imagination soars.... A literary rollercoaster ride you won't want to miss." (The Boston Globe)
"The story gallops with ferocious momentum.... Devilishly inventive." (The New York Times Book Review)
All is not as you see This is the 2nd book of the Dark Materials trilogy. Lyra has escaped Mrs. Coultar, she has escaped with her daemon (we would call it our spirit) intact. Her father had killed Lyra's friend Roger by cutting his daemon away from him. Now she finds a strange boy that doesn't have a daemon that she can see. His name is Will and he is running from strangers that want some letters his father has written.The two if them find that neither comes from the world they are in. So, they work together to accomplish a task that neither child understands. They fight for the life of an old man, only to find Will is now the bearer of a special knife. He is suppose to fight in a war he knows nothing about . His father is killed by a witch that is suppose to protect him and Lyra. As he approaches the camp where Lyra is suppose to be sleeping, he sees Lyra has been taken there are angels there to guide him to his destination.Best of the Trilogy! Will! It's hard to believe that he wasn't even mentioned in Golden Compass. He is a perfect foil for Lyra, while his character (like hers) is far from perfect. GC was told from Lyra's POV, but her thoughts and actions seemed to come from a much older/wiser intelligence. Will's character and backstory, however, seem to arise very naturally from his backstory (and DNA). It took me a while to warm up to Lyra, but I liked Will straight away.This is the best book of the Trilogy, but you gotta read #1 to understand the plot, and your gotta read #3 to see how it all turns out.Pullman continues to enthrall readers with the fantastic sequel - The Subtle Knife! The Subtle Knife opens in a world called Cittagazze, where human consciousness is preyed upon by vampire like creatures called Specters. And from there on, the story alternates between Lyra's world (that had been introduced to us in Book 1 of Pullman's His Dark Materials), Cittagazze, and Will Parry's world which is much like our modern world.This book is where the plot widens... where Lyra's role as Mother Eve becomes clear, in waging a war on Authority, the Creator, alongside the fallen Angels, Lord Asriel and Will Parry - the subtle knife bearer...Pullman has created a truly sublime plot by tying in theoretical physics, theology, and anthropology as his protagonists travel across multiverses, a step closer to preserving human consciousness!I am looking forward to reading the next book - The Amber Spyglass.
