The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman
4.0

Altogether this series left me in awe. It is incredibly well thought through and built, it just feels like a timeless masterpiece.
I do however feel like it is a series that deserves to be read with time and attention to get all the aspects. I'll admit a few things went over my head as I audiobooked it while also doing other things and I kinda almost regret that.

Sometimes I don't want to give too much energy to reading. I just want to read for relaxation and entertainment and it almost felt like I should be paying more attention and analysing what all these things meant.

Anyways, the worlds are fascinating, the characters loveable and despite the theological aspects I didn't care to analyse, I found the whole plot pretty entertaining.
