I really had to drag myself through this one. Mainly because I wanted to finish it in 2020 and was trying to get through the last 100 or so pages on 31 December but I was unable to finish it then. Even before and after that reading this book felt like a chore. 

I didn't not like this book, but it just kept going back and forth between three or so plot lines which was a bit of a shock as The Golden Compass only had one. All the plot lines are good but I just wish they fully came together in the end and we weren't left with several cliff hangers.
