I was intrigued to see how this story would conclude after I enjoyed The Northen Lights and was rather disappointed by The Subtle Knife. I feel a little like I have wasted my time.
There is no doubting the imagination that has gone into the three books and they do contain some nice chapters, which is why they merit 2 stars. But in the end, this book just sort of drifts to a conclusion that is all too predictable. I felt a bit cheated at the end. I guess the take home message is that there is just a lot of much better fantasy out there. Nice try but not for me.
