	Woodge said: " When I began this middle book in the trilogy I wasn't exactly drawn to the developing story. Our hero, Kylar, tries to renounce his job of master assassin -- wetboy -- to live a normal life with Elene, the scarred woman he's known since childhood. Of ...more "

"As for what it's against - the story is against those who pervert and misuse religion, or any other kind of doctrine with a holy book and a priesthood and an apparatus of power that wields unchallengeable authority, in order to dominate and suppress human freedoms."

"I think it's perfectly possible to explain how the universe came about without bringing God into it, but I don't know everything, and there may well be a God somewhere, hiding away. Actually, if he is keeping out of sight, it's because he's ashamed of his followers and all the cruelty and ignorance they're responsible for promoting in his name. If I were him, I'd want nothing to do with them."
— Philip Pullman
