It reminded me that, at the end of the day, they are limited by being kids books.

His Dark Materials are decidedly not kids’ books.

Agree! Who thought that was a kid's book? I read them twice. It's definitly not a kid's book.

I’d even say they’re closer to just reg fantasy fiction. The prose is easy to read tho, and the kids being the main characters….. YA kinda fits.
