Goldenhand by Garth Nix
4.0
Quick note: If you can try rereading The Creature in the Case before reading this.
This was a long awaited sequel and a very enjoyable one at that. Goldenhand tells the story of Nick, Lirael and a new character Ferin.
Nick is one of my favourite characters in the series and I'm glad he was great as ever. Maybe his romance with Lirael was a little fast but it was awkward and cute so I'll forgive it. I do wish we'd been able to see Sam and Nick interact more but maybe next time.
Ferin was a great new character but I wish we'd gotten more of her life growing up. The tribes seem fascinating and with Chlorr basically ruling them all I'd really like to read more on that. As it was the world building was good there and I really liked her. Not sure what I think about her possible future romance with Sam but we'll see.
Final thing I want to say is oh Clariel. I want them to find out more about her, I want to know more about her story after the end of her book. You get a glimpse here but I'm so fascinated by how she changed so much because of free magic. I'm glad she was important in this book but more please.
