Good little addition to the original trilogy. It fits neatly between the last book (Amber Spyglass) and the second book of the “equel”, as Pullman has described the Book of Dust with respect to His Dark Materials. Indeed, there’s a reference to one of the characters of this book in The Secret Commonwealth.
It’s a good read for those craving an extra bit of the HDM universe. Not too deep, but it’s not intended to be.
