The Amber Spyglass was a good ending to a series. It summed everything up and left one question still to haunt you but not the kind that tears you apart, like the questions at the end of Lures. I found it very enjoyable though it was dry at times.
As most ending books it was very very dark. Will and Lyra traveled to the world of the dead and on their return to the living almost died. They were hunted by any manner of horrible people and things and it really made you question whether or not this book could have a "happy" ending. The other day when I was waiting for The Prince's (The student run newspaper at my school) to start our teach coorinator was talking about A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and how books need to end on an up beat. We really don`t want to believe that there's no hope in the world so we write books with hopeful endings and The Amber Spyglass lived up to this expectation very well.
I give this book 6 marzipan's out of 10. You can't really leave off on The Subtle Knife so you really need to read it but it wasn't the best book ever. It was an ending. If you read the first one finish the series and don't let the ending stop you from reading the beginning. Read this series. It's worth the time
