Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
From the world of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials - now a major critically acclaimed BBC series.
She had asked: what is he? A friend or an enemy?
The alethiometer answered: he is a murderer.
When she saw the answer, she relaxed at once.
Lyra finds herself in a shimmering, haunted otherworld - Cittàgazze, where soul-eating Spectres stalk the streets and wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky.
But she is not without allies: 12-year-old Will Parry, fleeing for his life after taking another's, has also stumbled into this strange new realm.
On a perilous journey from world to world, Lyra and Will uncover a deadly secret: an object of extraordinary and devastating power.
And with every step, they move closer to an even greater threat - and the shattering truth of their own destiny.
Read by Philip Pullman and a full cast of narrators.

Will Parry’s and Lyra’s story/ Mary Malone’s intro
Great book, loved it.
Slightly old fashioned voices.
Dreadful my music! It really spoiled the whole production.
I enjoyed that the author Philip Pullman was the narrator.

Enjoyable audiobook
Enjoyed this audiobook immensely, the difference the cast makes is enormous and Phillip Pullman makes a magical world come to life, this is the second book of the trilogy and I’m sure if you enjoyed the first audiobook you will enjoy this even more,

Good but some the casting is irritating
Great story. But the voice of Lyra is deeply irritating. Same with the witch Serafina Pecolla.

Good story and performance, thank w
The sound volume could be higher - sometimes it is difficult to hear as you are walking in the street

As good as the first time.
Loving my revisit of the Dark materials saga since I first read it as a young teenager. The BBC series reminded me of its rich tapestry and I was drawn back.
Loved it even more as I now appreciate the deeper implications, the religion, politics and intrigue way better than I did at first reading.
Masterful Mr Pullman.
