For the next book in the series, The Amber Spyglass, I made sure I chose the version that was narrated by Philip Pullman himself together with an excellent cast of voice actors. I still enjoyed the story and the actors provided the voices of the characters were great, but when it finished I felt rather unsatisfied and that I had missed out on certain elements. Lyra and Will, her newfound friend, tumble separately into the strange tropical otherworld of Cittgazze. Here is the highly anticipated second installment of Philip Pullman's epic fantasy trilogy, begun with the critically acclaimed The Golden Compass. Without any visual aid it can be difficult to appreciate and fully immerse yourself in the story as it’s hard to imagine locations or the mood and thoughts of the characters. The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials, Book 2) Mass Market Paperback March 28, 1998. It also meant missing out on all the amazing descriptive words of Philip Pullman which beautifully tie everything in this story together. The difference was that this version of The Subtle Knife was entirely dramatised, missing out all the narration that was not speech. If I had done this, I would have seen that the total running time was only 2 hours and 26 mins, compared to the other version which was around 12 hours. Too Short - due to no background narrationĪs this was my first ever Audible purchase, I should have read the full description more carefully, comparing it to the other Audible version available.
