Goldenhand by Garth Nix
3.0
Fast-paced, quick read. Initially disliked the split narrative but appreciated it later on, as enabled the cutting out of lots of fluff.
Wasn't a book for world building (Unlike Clariel), but more action, with just enough character development to lead to an interesting sequel discussing Loral's journey maturing her Abhorsen skills.
While I really enjoyed the book for what it was, if you're looking for something that delves into the Old Kingdom world and its lore, this isn't it. Goldenhand leaves the series open for lots of huge and exciting narrative developments.
