Bloom liked it over Harry Potter. Therefore, /lit/ material.

I haven’t read it since I was like 12 but I remember it being good for YA stuff, probably owing to the fact it predates Harry Potter and therefore wasn’t so influenced by all of Rowling’s terrible fanfiction tier tropes
Book 3 falls apart a little at the end though

top tier fiction for young teens, but it's themes are really no deeper than dawkins fedora tipping atheism 101

I've only read the first book and I liked it a lot. It introduced me to Paradise Lost.

The ending is the best fucking part. I bet you wanted a shitty happy disney ending.

I really liked them when I was 12. In hindsight Pullman's beef with C.S. Lewis is extremely cringe.

No I like the ending of the main plot but if you can’t see how some of the story ends really abruptly with some threads stopping because it was out of time even when I could see that when I was 12 you’re probably retarded
Father Gomez and the big white birds do almost nothing and then he just gets killed by an angel because there wasn’t any time left
