I am once again astounded. What an incredible and yet frustrating pay off to its prequel! We wallow in despair, hanging on to nothing but a thin thread of hope that Lirael and Sam will manage to save the world, stealing our ability to put the book down. The ending might be a bit abrupt and we don’t spend much time with the characters outside of their mission, but all in all, it remains an incredible read!

I really liked this series. It remained completely unpredictable right up to the end. A great series for [b:fantasy lover|84136|Fantasy Lover (Dark-Hunter, #1)|Sherrilyn Kenyon|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171050604s/84136.jpg|2384]s.

Really satisfying conclusion to the conflict that was taking shape in the later parts of “Lirael.” Loved this series.
