Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen, by Garth Nix

4.0

While I did not love the character Clariel as much as I loved Sabriel and Lirael, this book was still so so great! This world that Garth Nix has created has proven to be one of the very best, and I'm so glad he's continuing on with the series! This book was a little slow in the beginning, with a lot of plot development only to unfold itself in the last 3rd of the book, which is completely fine with me. I even prefer it. The only thing that makes this a 4 star book instead of a 5 star book was that Clariel was completely unrelatable! Her whole attitude of literally not caring about anyone was a little off-putting at times,

Spoiler

she barely even mourned the deaths of her parents! Also, we were never entirely clued in on the fact if Jaciel was alive or not towards the end. Who Clariel ends up being though, was phenomenal, and I loved how Nix brought the plots of the first trilogy and this book together into one seamless world!
