Lirael by Garth Nix
5.0
Lirael, picks up fourteen years after the triumph of Sabriel, with a new danger and a new Enemy threatening the Old Kingdom.
The story weaves in characters driven by obligation, desire and blood to the duties they feel they should hold, while destiny shows them a path better suited to them.
Death, necromancy and free magic run rampant and the defenders of the Old Kingdom are spread far and wide, blinded and distracted from the true danger.
A longer read than Sabriel, this is a typical second book - it sets the scene for Abhorsen when the final battle will be fought.
