Reviews

The story s signature fantasies the daemons; the armored mercenary polar bears; and the alethiometer are realized with compelling force (and, in the case of the daemons, humor). [This] retelling will bring Pullman s work new fans and give previous readers new pleasure. -- Publishers Weekly, Starred review The small and detailed but very clear panels are full of expressive faces, discernible action, and moody shadowing. Readers familiar with Pullman s novel will appreciate this artistic adaptation, as will readers who simply prefer graphic novels to prose. -- Booklist Whether this is a reader's first experience with the tale or they are already familiar with the story, they should be delighted by this rendition. -- School Library Journal
