The Amber Spyglass is about a boy and a girl named Will and Lyra. They go through many tough challenges and are part of four conflicts all happening at the same time!
These are the conflicts:
Conflict 1: Good vs. evil forces
Will and Lyra are involved in the main war by helping get the ghosts out of the world of the dead and letting them fight the Spectators. Spectators are lifeless soul sucking creatures that came from oblivion. The good forces are creatures that try to protect Will and Lyra. Will and Lyra are trying to preserve the dust. The dust the conscious of life and the Amber Spyglass allows you to see the dust.
Conflict 2: Will and Lyra vs. the Church
The Church thinks that Lyra is bad and they want to kill her. Lyra has special knowledge that nobody else ever had, she could read the alethiometer fluently. The alethiometer is device that allows the holder to ask questions, if they how to ask the question, and it always tells the truth.
Conflict 3: Good forces vs. the Spectators
Good forces try to keep the Spectators from desouling them.
Conflict 4: Evil forces vs. the Spectators
Evil does the same thing as the good forces with the Spectators. The reason that they ward off the Spectators is because they want to preserve their own soul.
Will and Lyra have to face these challenges and more in The Amber Spyglass. I have this book too many times to count, its that good. You can even find out what happens between Will and Lyra!
PS. This is the third book of the trilogy His Dark Materials
