Book Reviews of Lirael: Daughter of the Clayr (The Abhorsen Trilogy)
Book Review: Lirael: The most exquisite sequel ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many before me, I'm sure, after reading the incredible 'Sabriel' I was dubious about Lirael matching up to the incredible fantasy heights of Sabriel. Teenage reading is the best thing about being a teenager, but I was absoloutely shocked. This book went straight to my bone marrow and I know now that this book will haunt my reading taste, and the way I write books for the rest of my life. Truly, this is one of the best books I have ever read. The characters are so true, so absoloutely fantastically imagined and played. Lirael is such a string character in herself, its quite beautiful the way Garth Nix describes her: not in so many words or adjectives, but in her actions, in what she does and how she behaves. The Disresputable Dog is also a fantastically witty character and Sameth, son of Sabriel is a worthy child after his mother. Those who have read Sabriel will be delighted to read the return of Mogget, perhaps one of Garth's more prominant and slightly dark characters, but witty and humorous all in one go. Its fantastic, and the scenes with the dead are tense and exciting. I love this book and I simply cannot wait to read Abhorsen. fantastic book.Book Review: harrys other review

its very good and got me through potien lessons with snape!!! hes created another world very well just like my own creator its a good book and will be loved by all!!Book Review: Very good, but you need to read Abhorsen aswell!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was a really good read and very gripping. It was a little slow starting, but as this and Abhorsen were originally going to be one book, with this the beginning half, that's not surprising. I gets going about halfway through and once that has started its impossible to put down.I really liked the character of Lirael, and Sam grew on me after a few reads although at first he was SO annoying.
This book is really good, but because it's so closely linked to the next book you really need to read them together, otherwise it's torture!
Book Review: lirael
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading sabriel i hoped that lirael would live up to its standards. after reading it i was extreamly pleased to find that it was possibly better. with new exciting characters such as lirael sameth and the the desreputable dog as well as some of the old including the extremely hillarious mogget and also sabriel and touchstone (although we only meet them once or twice). The story is that lirael a daughter of the clayr is the only clayr without the sight (ability to see into the future) and prince sameth son of touchstone and sabriel on his journey to find and help his friend who could be in danger. This book shows you that the whole of the first book was leading up to the other two books and the adventures of lirael and sameth not sabriel. this an amazing book with a great ending and twist.

Summary: 3 Stars
Mildly entertaining but the book was not as accessable as i would have liked. The storyline was ok, but it seemed to drag on forever. Nothing like it's protege 'Sabriel'. Overall, it was a good book but could never match up with the first of the series, 'Sabriel'.
