The Subtle Knife (His Dark Materials #2) – Philip Pullman (1997)

The second installment in Pullman’s groundbreaking trilogy bridges worlds with even greater daring. Lyra Belacqua steps through a portal into Cittàgazze, a mysterious city where she meets Will Parry, a boy from our world fleeing his own demons. Together, they discover the Subtle Knife—a blade that cuts windows between dimensions—while adult forces (Mrs. Coulter, the Magisterium, and scientists like Will’s father) converge in a cosmic struggle over Dust, consciousness, and original sin. Pullman deepens his anti-dogmatic themes while delivering breathless adventure across parallel Oxfords.
