Since then, the trilogy has been nominated one of the top 5 books ever, by the British public. Whilst Pullman has won the Carnegie Medal, the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, the Smarties Prize and Children's Book of the Year at the British Book Awards it was only the final instalment of the trilogy (which went onto win the prestigious Whitbred Prize, being the first Children's book ever to do so) that seems to have garnered Pullman the popular acclaim he undoubtedly deserves.

The Catholic Herald called his books "the stuff of nightmares" and "worthy of the bonfire", when asked to respond he said "My response to that was to ask the publishers to print it in the next book, which they did! I think it's comical, it's just laughable". In particular due to the role the church plays in the oppression of people in the novels.
