I don't know what the technical definition of "high fantasy" is but this is what I think of when I hear that term, complex world building, unique lore and magic, interesting characters with multiple issues, the list goes on. This is my kind of book, I really enjoyed learning about the different kinds of magic and how Lirael learns to work them. A great follow up to Sabriel, honestly I might prefer this book.
