Terciel and Elinor by Garth Nix

4.0

There was a nearly ten-year gap between the original trilogy of this series and the fourth and fifth volumes, and then another five-ish years passed before this one was published. Which doesn’t always lead to the best outcomes— as evidenced by books 4 and 5, which were underwhelming. But I really enjoyed this, a prequel that tells the story of Sabriel’s parents. The ending was a little odd, but it was immediately absorbing, which is what I wanted. Good book.
