Hi all, a place for us to discuss once we’ve finished reading the book!

Surely, given the number of windows still open, the first thing Lyra would have done would be to cut a window into Will’s Oxford?

I felt a bit icky about the Malcolm & Lyra love story that started to develop…and the bit about a 16 year old Mal and widowed Alice 😳

The “we need doors open between worlds after all” pivot was so short, totally agree@DameWishalot !

The more I think about what I read the more open questions and queries I have !!!

so….totally agree that there are quite a few open plot points….i was going for more of a proper ending 🙄

It needed a good edit. Less travel, more time wrapping up the six million threads started AND the massive rethink/retcon of the previous series which was mentioned in about half a page and then never explored again?!
