Publisher's Summary
All the while, Dr. Mary Malone builds a magnificent amber spyglass. An assassin hunts her down. And Lord Asriel, with troops of shining angels, fights his mighty rebellion, a battle of strange allies and shocking sacrifice.
As war rages and dust drains from the sky, the fate of the living, and the dead, finally comes to depend on two children and the simple truth of one simple story. The Amber Spyglass reveals that story, bringing Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials to an astonishing conclusion.
What the critics say
"Absorbing...Like Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling, [Pullman] invents a world filled with strange divinations and wordplays." (Newsweek)
"A literary masterpiece...[that] caps the most magnificent fantasy series since The Lord of the Rings and puts Harry Potter to shame...A page-turning story that builds to a powerful finish." (Oregonian)
"As the rich tale unfolds, Pullman's voice, elegant with a hint of both whisper and rasp, thoroughly enthralls, sounding by turns forceful and tender. The talented, extensive cast gives a dynamic, nearly flawless performance." (Publishers Weekly)

Fantastic finish
I have many great things to say about this book but it would spoil too much to reveal most the details as to why I loved it so much. His Dark Materials feels like required reading.

A great ending
Every part of this story was enjoyable. The ending made me sad, but in a happy way. I highly recommend this book series.

A fascinating and conclusive ending.
I absolutely loved this ending to the trilogy. Pullman clearly started these books with the ending in mind and this ending did a great job at wrapping up the story. I loved the characters, I loved the performance, and I am so happy to have listened to this series!
I plan on taking a break from Pullman's work now but I will certainly come back to it. What a masterpiece!

A Very upsetting ending.
I just can't even. A better ending would've made this series perfect. The author's choice of stereotypical endings has spoiled my indulgence.

One of the best trilogies
I’ve read the books twice and now listened to the audio trilogy. It certainly doesn’t disappoint. I’m now 40 years old and this audiobook gets me just as choked up as the books. Well done to the whole cast!!

Worst of the three
I hate the quotes before each chapter. The plot was weak. Super depressing sub text. I had to finish the series though.
