while this is categorized as YA, the author doesn't condescend or dumb down the vocabulary. if a reader doesn't fully understand some of the events that occur it doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the story (and it's probably just as well.) this book returns to the richly imagined, fully realized world of the Dark Materials. it doesn't count as a prequel for me because i've read hundreds of books in the interim and only remember some of the details. it's very tempting to revisit the original trilogy and remember the sense of wonder of this alternate universe.
