Above the Veil by Garth Nix
4.0
This book was amazing. I wasn't sure how this one would continue the story, but it really did a great job. Really one of my favorite things about this book is how short it is. In all honesty, this whole series could probably be condensed into 2, maybe 3 books, just by combing books. But it is SO much more enjoyable and relaxing this way.
My favorite part, though? Milla. I love her character arc, and overall development and the huge part she plays in this story (and that awful cliffhanger, too.)
Aside from Milla, I adore the world. It's really fascinating. Not in an oh-my-gosh-this-could-happen-to-me way that a lot of Dystopian/Sci-fi/Fantasy novels often have. But just the plain and simple a) politics of the society, and b) the way the magic and shadows work. It's just fascinating.
The plot of this series is really original and, well, refreshing. Everything is new, and really intriguing.
I'm 15, and I recommend this book.
