I also found His Dark Materials a lot harder to read the second time, when I was in my 20s, compared to the first time I read it in my teens. That said, I have to admit he's grown up a lot further since then; his new series, The Book of Dust, which is set 12 years earlier is a lot more mature in its themes.

I don't think the entire Book of Dust trilogy will be in the past. La Belle Sauvage is, but The Secret Commonwealth followed an older Lyra to the steppes.
