A review by cosymilko
Lirael by Garth Nix
4.0
Goodreads really needs to incorporate half-star ratings. I would give Lirael 4.5 stars rather than 5 or 4.
Lirael is a Daughter of the Clayr who hasn't received the Sight and is getting older and older. She ends up working in the library and discovering how unique her talent with Charter magic is.
I enjoyed the second trip back into this world. It was good to see Sabriel still around and hear a little from her but to see the deeper aspects of the Clayr was great.
I still want to know more. The ending was a twist I'd predicted early but was satisfied with. I wanted more Mogget. More Disreputable Dog. More magic.
This is definitely a second book though. It doesn't stand on it's own the way the first one did nor does it have the same revelations.
I can't wait to start Abhorsen!
