The Golden Compass: We meet Lyra in an alternate universe, where everyone has a daemon (a physical, animal, manifestation of one's soul). There's darkness and magic and militaristic polar bears, and scenes of pure childhood joy and scenes of pure childhood terror. The Hero's Journey begins!
The Subtle Knife: Arguably the coolest of the three tools, but messy and breakable. We meet Will, from our version of Earth, and he meets Lyra, and they travel through realities.
The Amber Spyglass. Lyra and Will finish out the trilogy. We learn about "Dust", traumatic upheavals, allegory, angels, daemons, love, death, new beginnings.
