The best in the series so far, imo. Even though it feels like the second half of Lirael. Loved it, cried a lot at the end. 💚

This was a pretty good conclusion to the trilogy, but I wish the trilogy overall felt more cohesive (instead of a standalone book and then a separate story split into two books).
But if nothing else, getting more worldbuilding with the Precincts made this worth it!
"Sabriel" is still the best of these so far, in my opinion.

I liked it less than the former ones, but Tim curry has outdone himself here. Amazing voice changes.

i ADORED this book so much that i rated a book for the first time on this app 😭 however the cast is. not diverse. and i’m questioning the description of the clayr as dark-skinned and blond….seems strange to me
