This series will forever and always be my favourite. The imagination this man has in his head is unparalleled.

In my continued journey of re-reading the Abhorsen series, I'm once again delighted to continue on with Lirael and Sam. The stage is now set for the conclusion to much of the groundwork laid in the previous book in the series and does it ever deliver. I loved that Book 3 continued with the slow and steady character development for both Lirael and Sam and didn't rush the experiences they needed to encounter in order to become the versions of themselves you see at the ending of the book. Well worth the tears I shed as I finished and was delighted by the little easter egg finishing this book made me notice on a cover of one of the other books in the series.

Please note; my star rating on any book is completely subjective and limited to the label for each star.

1 Star I didn’t like it
2 Stars It was okay
3 Stars I liked it
4 Stars I really liked it
5 Stars It was amazing!

If I do actually have something to say about a book other than what my enjoyment factor was, I will write a review and share my thoughts. If I say I didn’t like a book but there wasn’t anything about it that I thought needed to be shared, then that’s it, I just didn’t like it.

If you’d like to start a discussion about a book or you’d like an actual review, ask any question you like and I’ll be happy to try and comply/respond.

Additional note; I do not feed the trolls. If you don’t have something constructive to say, or if you can’t say it in a respectful way, you won’t get a response from me. Ever.

It was good. The characters likeable, magic system excellent. It just lacked the oomph of a satisfying book.
