Just like Northern Lights, Pullman has included his own mini illustrations. Together Lyra and Will continue on their destined paths and open up a whole other level of Pullman’s creation adding even more depth and complexity to that established in the first book. Will’s life is nothing like Lyra’s, and in our own world a lot more familiar, and after fleeing from his own problems stumbles across a window and finds Lyra, Pan, and a range of new things, both exciting and terrifying. And just like he did with Lyra, Pullman introduces these characters in the middle of a moment and expands the story around them. The story opens with a new perspective, this time with Will Parry, a young boy from our world. Unlike Northern Lights that remains solely in one world, The Subtle Knife begins to explore other parallel worlds, and frequently jumps between three worlds. It was first published in 1997 by Scholastic Point. The Subtle Knife is the second book in the His Dark Materials trilogy.
