Synopsis: Lyra has entered into an abandoned city in a parallel world where she meets a young boy, Will, from our world. They are in Cittagazze, where children run wild and the adults are non-existent. There is a tower in this city that houses a knife with the ability to cut openings into the parallel worlds. Lyra and Will's destinies become intertwined when Lyra's alethiometer instructs her to help Will find his father.
My Review: This book continues the quest and narrative from the first book with a few added dimensions, twists and turns, including visits to our own parallel world. A battle is brewing between Lord Asriel and his innumerable armies and the strongest angels in the universe. Lyra must determine whose side she is on as the war moves closer.
