I'm about two thirds through book 3.
So, anybody want to start a discussion? Bit difficult in case of spoilers, but hopefully Jo is coming to the end of Northern Lights now (although the interesting stuff doesn't really happen till Subtle Knife, I think).
Thoughts so far Jo? Is it becoming more exciting? Is there anything you want to ask about?

What do you think of the idea of daemons? It took me a while to get used to it, I have to say.

I kinda guessed straight away what they were but I was not that struck with the idea.... I think that it's one of the things that jarred with me a little.

It did with me too, when I first read it, that's why I asked. But without giving anything away, that idea becomes far less important as the story moves into other worlds and onto more metaphysical matters in the other books. Did anyone else have a problem with the idea of daemons?

I am glad you've got such a good grip on the names. Where is Thingythingy anyway? (Don't answer that)

I'm not rereading currently but I read them not that long ago. I want a proper thread though where we can talk spoilers. Otherwise there is not much to say.

One for each book, as Miisa suggested? Then maybe Jo could join in (if she wants to ) as she's nearly finished Northern Lights.

In support of Moosie's desire for MOAR POASTS, how about a thread for each chapter? How about a board for it, so I can detach from it?!

Every time I dip into the no spoiler thread for book one I am seeing spoilers so I am boycotting it

Post by juju on Aug 7, 2014 23:20:23 GMT
But it's only talking about daemons, and they are in Book 1 anyway.

Post by raspberrybullets on Aug 8, 2014 9:16:46 GMT
Yeah, deamons are featured pretty heavily in book 1. The whole book is about them!
