The Sending by Isobelle Carmody

4.0

Firstly, I have to admit to a certain bias when it comes to this series. I have been actively waiting for this book for any number of years, and I was somewhat relieved about this not being the last one. While it means that I don't get to see how it ends yet, it also means that there's more to come for me to enjoy.
The Sending was a good next chapter to the Obernewtyn series; the plot is moving along and we got to see a few old friends along the way. Finally we have a few answers about questions that have been raised from the very beginning about Elspeth's quest and how some of the clues she has spent years collecting fit together.
I alternated between devouring chapters at a time, and lingering over every paragraph as I remembered what about this series had made such a big impression on me years ago.
I have to say I hope the next one comes out soon. Although if it takes a few extra years, the series will last that much longer.
