Join us on our journey down further and further rungs of truth as we take a look at The Amber Spyglass, the third book in the His Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman and its corresponding season of the TV show.
Warnings: There is a brief, non-specific discussion of sexual assault and rape in the section about how people read the temptation scene between Lyra and Will as sex. It contains no graphic information and only mentions the words, but if that would be upsetting to you, skip forward a few minutes until we are talking about death.
