so this is book 3...and it really does jump around between storylines because there are so many characters at this point...and i would love to know if there will be a book that answers the one big question that remains about will and lyra...but mainly...for a book that is a favorite among boys the middle of the end of the book really takes a turn in another genre i wasn't expecting...and that's all i can say with out spoiling the book for anyone else
