(2) YA Book of Dust series. Don't start here. While bibliographically this second entry in the trilogy follows La Belle Sauvage, biographically it picks up when Lyra is twenty, with the events of the initial His Dark Materials trilogy ten years in her past. The novel is rich in incident but sprawling. Devotees will enjoy the often-surprising but neatly done connections to the previous volumes, however this book provides no resolutions to any of the conflicts and quests it proposes.
