An excellent sequel to Sabriel, once you start this book you will not be able to put it down. I loved learning about the lives of Lirael and Sameth. Can't wait to start the next in the series.Excellent as always, a total cliffhanger. I could not put this book down. You will not be disappointed.

As a librarian, I totally identified with Lirael. Alas, there aren't any magical rooms hidden in my library! Her journey of self-discovery is gripping and I love her canine free magic creature. great dialogue. comedy.and a little love. my favorite of the series.

I love the foundation to this fantasy trilogy. It was intriguing, and the characters facinating. I read through all three within a week.

another clever nix book - but at the end a feeling of "oh my GOD there's still a third one??" predominated.

I felt Lirael was not as good as the first book in the Abhorsen Trilogy, but it kept me interested until the very end.This book was easy to review. 4/5 stars

One of the sequels to his amazing book, Sabriel. This continues the story and gives us fans more--more of the Old Kingdom, more of Death, and more of the Great Charters. An excellent follow-up.

Lireal is the second in Nix's Abhorsen trilogy, and I think I liked it better than I liked the first, which is saying something as I really enjoyed the first book. Nix's bluntness regarding sex and gender continues to surprise me, but what I like even more is his world-building ability and the freshness of his plots. Though the book suffers from a slow beginning, the middle and end quickly make up for it.

Lirael, a daughter of the Clayr, has lived without the Sight- the very birthright of the Clayr- for her whole life. To lessen the pain of not being able to See into the future, Lirael busies herself as a Librarian's Assistant. As a result of exploring a dark corridor of the library, Lirael ends up with a true friend called the Disreputable Dog, someone to talk to since she is not a normal Clayr. On Lirael's 19th birthday, she discovers a path made for her by her ancestors and follows it, finding that she is meant to be a Remembrancer, one who can see into the past. The Clayr See her at Red Lake, with an Ancelstierran man named Nicholas, the evil necromancer Hedge, and Dead Southerlings digging up a powerful Free Magic being that has the potential to destroy the Old Kingdom. She sets off aboard the Finder along the Ratterlin River and saves Prince Sameth. Together they go to the Abhorsen's house to prepare for the battle, where Lirael's true destiny is revealed- she is the next Abhorsen.

The other books in the Abhorsen trilogy were great, but I really related to Lirael. I also adored the Disreputable Dog. Such a great book, this was. I think it's the best in the trilogy, personally.
