When I first read these books I was still a deluded teenage christian and had these obsessive-compulsive thoughts where I thought THE AUTHORITY IS NOT GOD THE AUTHORITY IS NOT GOD ;_; PLEASE FORGIVE ME GOD FOR READING THESE BOOKS I DON'T BELIEVE THEM OH GOD DON'T MAKE ME GO TO HELL

got rid of my beliefs a while later and re-read the books some years ago, I always thought the first book was the best, the second a little worse because of me not caring about WILL and the third the absolute worst (lolgod), but I am not so sure anymore. The third one wasn't that bad even if there were some plot inconsistencies with dem dæmons.

Also, NORTHERN LIGHTS is a way better title than THE GOLDEN COMPASS.

Is it worth reading at 17?
I have extremely religious parents and was never allowed to read it, I figure if it's worth it I'll read it without them knowing.

I think so. It's definitely the the best YA fantasy I ever read.
