You must remember that, Sighted or not, you are a Daughter of the Clayr.
The conclusion to Lirael. Both combined could be considered a book divided into two volumes, like many other second and third parts of trilogies.
Charter mark in some of the covers.
Charter mark by Quill-Tail.Lirael finds herself as Abhorsen-in-Waiting, and has to come to terms with the fact that she will not get what she most wanted in her life until then, the Sight. More importantly, she, with Sameth, the Dog and Mogget now have the responsibility to basically save the world. Little thing.
The book improves on the previous one, which was already very good. I do have small qualms about the ending (1)And well, the “surprises” were a bit predictable, but still nice. , but really love the world and enjoy the characters. I was very happy to discover that this was not the ending of the series and that there are more.
Again, big recommendation for the whole series (well, at least the first three books for sure) for fantasy readers.
