RE: Read these books! | 4 great book recommendations | Ashleigh's favourite books from 2017
Hi from Germany :)
I loved the first book of the dark materials series and read it twice but struggled with the second one. The third is still waiting for me. But at the moment I can't pic myself up and read it. What do you think? Do I have to know the story from the second one in detail? Because I don't remember much but I want to finish this.
I actually didn't like the second book in the series as much as the first or third book. If it's just the second book stopping you from reading the conclusion, I'd say skip it. Yes, you'll have missed some details, but I don't think that will ruin the third book completely. I recently accidentally read the conclusion to a series without knowing it (Children of Earth and Sky by Guy Gavriel Kay), and I still really enjoyed that book!
Thanks for your answer. That gives me a little bit of relieve. Maybe there is a summary somewhere in the internet, so I can continue with some more details.:)
