It is still weird for me to adapt to a "fantasy" book, since this is the first one is the first book of its genre that I have read for over four years! The most unique part of this book is the fact that all the human characters in this book have daemons, that are little creatures who represent their conscience. This reminds me of Jimmeny Cricket from Pinnochio and i'm guessing Philip Pullman who is the author of "The Golden Compass" got this idea from that.
Lyra's best friend, Roger Parslow is one of the few people she can trust. He is a true friend to her and is pretty much the only person at the college that she can count on. In the section that I just read, Lyla meets a lady named Mrs. Coulter. Lyra is immediately taken away by her young and beautiful look. She immediatley thinks that Mrs. Coulter can be an important, trusted adult figure in her life, unlike her shady uncle, but I think it's too early for her to think that, seeing how crazy and evil most of the adults are at Oxford University. I hope that Mrs. Coulter truly is a good person, so Lyra will have an adult in her life, who she can trust and seek help from.
I am still curious about the title and what exactly the golden compass is, which I hope will come up in the upcoming chapters.
