From the world of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials - now a major critically acclaimed BBC series.

'We're going to the land of the dead and we're going to come back.'

But they must find each other, for ahead of them lies the greatest war that has ever been - and a journey to a dark place from which no one has ever returned....

Enjoyable audiobook

I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook, the narrative by Philip Pullman was enjoyable and the cast makes a huge difference, the ending of the trilogy was sad really, I am sure that you will enjoy this book, it is long but well worth every minute.

Love love loved it

Absolutely fabulous book written by a great author. This book is the 3rd and final book in this series and is an inspiration to all young writers out there. This book is fab-u-lous.

Worth it

I've been putting off completing this series since I was a kid. I had never gotten further than the half point of Northern Lights in each of my attempts. That was a failing on my part, because reading isn't exactly my best skill. I realised that these stories were in audiobook format and narrated by the author (which I always feel like it brings an extra element to the story) and I was delighted. I haven't been able to stop, I'm really glad to have finally been able to enjoy His Dark Materials fully in a way that I could connect with. Great story, great performance. Worth the wait.

Second half stronger than the first

Some of the voice acting in this whole series is irritating at times, it’s a bit overdone, perhaps it’s aimed more at children than adults but it’s like listening to a kids tv show. The voice actor for Lyra is particularly bad.

Brilliant ending

A great ending to the trilogy, brilliant work by Philip and the cast. Story wise this book had everything, the only slight negative point would be the ending is very drawn out. I’m looking forward to to the last season of the tv show which comes out soon.
