about the Amber spyglass...

Spoiler:

I really don't see the point in Lyra's going to the land of the death. Her reason is... nonsense! I mean, Lyra's is stubborn and crazy in a way, sure, but come on! She wants to go a long, terrible way down to the land of the death JUST to say sorry to Roger?? That's it??

She and Will need to get to Lord Asriel's fortress immediately for the biggest war ever, and all she wants to do is to waste a ton of strength and time doing something that can be put off for later. Although this makes some senses for later in the book, but I still feel a little disappointed after the fantastic previous book in the series. Maybe Pullman couldn't find a more reasonable way to make Lyra go to the land of the death.

i never could resist clicking on the spoilers tag.
thankfully it hasn't spoiled anything for me.
liked the reviews for the series so i'm still gonna read it.
