Clariel, by Garth Nix

4.0

I did really enjoy this journey into the Old Kingdom. Clariel is an incredibly frustrating character, who I wanted to love the way I loved Sabriel and Lirael, but instead ended up wishing I could slap her upside the head a bit. However, the world building is lovely (so nice to have extensive descriptions of the Abhorsen’s house and Belisaere, to finally cement them in my mind!) and you can never go wrong with some sass from Mogget. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series - and trying to stave off the compulsion to go back and re-read (again…) my now battered copies of the first trilogy.
