We didn't really find religious references in Northern Lights either, it's just because our librarian at school completed her PhD about religion in Northern Lights, so she gave us hints on what to look out for! <br />~ <a href="http://www.bookburningdragons.blogspot.com.au" rel="nofollow">Pendragons</a> <br />Luna & Saturnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174833927040993181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282347872251029891.post-13026968928735568442016-12-15T07:54:58.419+05:302016-12-15T07:54:58.419+05:30I loved it <3 I do think that might be because ...I loved it <3 I do think that might be because I'm not as well versed with Christianity that I might be able to truly understand references. I found many religious references in The Chronicles of Narnia though.

It's interesting you didn't find the book overtly religious, because there are a lot of religious references, especially as the series progresses. Can't wait for you to read the last book!<br /><br />Great review! <3<br />~ <a href="http://www.bookburningdragons.blogspot.com.au" rel="nofollow">Pendragons</a> <br />Luna & Saturnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15174833927040993181noreply@blogger.com
