The Subtle Knife

by Philip Pullman

Summary: This book picks up where The Golden Compass left off, so I won't say too much to avoid any spoilers. Lyra and Pantalaimon, still on the search for the mysterious Dust, meet Will Parry in a parallel universe. Will is looking for his father who has disappeared, and their combined quest leads to high adventure.

My thoughts: This is fantasy writing at its beautiful best. Pullman's words read like music. The Subtle Knife is the second book in the His Dark Materials trilogy.
