The Amber Spyglass, along with the two previous books in the series, is the most incredibly beautiful book that I have ever read. While reading this series, I do not think that I have ever cried harder in my life, nor have I smiled any wider. These three books have filled me with the most powerful happiness, and the deepest longing. They have torn my heart apart, and filled me with the deepest sadness and grief, but a sadness that was so beautiful. They caused me to fall so deeply in love, that I thought that I would faint because my heart was so full and the longing within me was so great and so fierce. They are mesmerizing and enchanting, fragile, deep, beautiful, powerful, magical, fierce, wonderful, daring, and thrilling. Yet, these words cannot even describe how I feel, they barely begin to describe these books. Together, these three books are the most incredibly beautiful adventure I have ever experienced. And it is an adventure I shall never, never forget. For it is within me, within my thoughts and my heart and my very being, with every breath that I take. I love these books so fiercely, with every inch of my soul. They are incredible, and deserve to be read over and over, by all. And all deserve to read these books, for they are truly the most special gift. They are full of daring adventure and magic, love, beauty, worlds within worlds, action, courage, bravery, strength, compassion, fantastical beings, other worlds, destiny, innocence, knowledge, and wisdom.
If you have not read this series, please, you must!
So far, I have read this series twice, but only because it is so intense and so deep and incredible and beautiful that to read it is such a huge event, one that takes so much out of me and fills me with the deepest longing I have ever known. However, if I could, I would read this series over and over again, until every word would be ingrained within my being. It is so special and has changed my life so deeply.
It was so important for me to write this, because I love these books so much, and I want everyone to know how incredible they truly are. You must understand that these books are no longer books for me, they are so deeply alive, and so much apart of my life. They are worlds that exist, that can be felt and entered and explored. The characters are within me and around me, and they are some of the deepest loves of my life. These are not just books, they are adventures into other realms. I love them so much!
