His Dark Materials: #2 The Subtle Knife Pullman,Philip

Lyra's world just cracked open. She's crossed into ours — a world without daemons, without the Magisterium, but full of its own dangers. In Oxford (our Oxford), she meets Will, a boy on the run with a knife that can slice between realities. Not metaphorically. Literally. The alethiometer brought her here for a reason, and as Dust continues to bleed from every universe, the stakes get cosmic. Philip Pullman turns the dial from wonder to dread, expanding His Dark Materials into a multiverse thriller where physics meets theology and two kids hold weapons they barely understand. Witches, angels, and spectres that eat souls. The middle book that refuses to tread water — it detonates. For readers who want their fantasy to ask hard questions and their heroes to bleed.
