Anti-Church Part Three

The final book of the trilogy shows a very clear picture of the religious stance of the author. I like his views on how life after death could be much worse than the real one, that we should cherish and enjoy every single of it. There is no point in spending this life praying for a better after life when we could be enjoying ourselves because later on, good and bad people will end up in the same place regardless of their past.

Religious views aside, a few large scale battles actually take place in this book as you would expect from any trilogies. There is the death of a few key characters and lots of surprising revelations about our main characters. There is also a side plot about homosexual angels, at least that is my interpretation from the story, it might mean something else to other people.

The ending was the most poignant scene of the His Dark Materials, I never saw it coming and was very sad. Although it was not a happy ending that most people would want, it did explain a lot about the specters. All in all, the trilogy is very well written, captivating and a must read for any Harry Potter or Narnia fans out there.
