The classic recording of The Subtle Knife, read by Philip Pullman and a full cast of narrators.

‘She had asked: what is he? A friend or an enemy?
The alethiometer answered: he is a murderer.
When she saw the answer, she relaxed at once.’
Lyra finds herself in a shimmering, haunted otherworld - Cittàgazze, where soul-eating Spectres stalk the streets and wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky.
But she is not without allies: 12-year-old Will Parry, fleeing for his life after taking another's, has also stumbled into this strange new realm.
On a perilous journey from world to world, Lyra and Will uncover a deadly secret: an object of extraordinary and devastating power.
And with every step, they move closer to an even greater threat - and the shattering truth of their own destiny.
The full cast of narrators includes: Philip Pullman, Joanna Wyatt, Rupert Degas, Alison Dowling, Douglas Blackwell, Jill Shilling, Stephen Thorne, Sean Barrett, Garrick Hagon, John O'Connor and Susan Sheridan.

I dimly remember this book from my childhood. today I can't believe the amount of death this it contains, but that was already the same in the first book. I wonder if it's a bit much for a children's book, but maybe it's not exactly for children but young teens. Voice acting's still lightning fast but maybe not quite as hectic as in the first one.

The brutality is what stood out to me the most.
