A review by mjfmjfmjf
Lirael by Garth Nix
3.0
And then the book just ends. Doesn't build to an ending, just says - welp combat will be in the next book - and perhaps a quick training montage.
This book had two pov characters and both were hard to take, though Sam worse than Lirael. Basically you had two youngsters, out of place, without a useful support system. They both had destiny's there were clearly unsuited for. And no chance of it ever getting better.
Lirael at least found something like an alternative path. Sam not so much.
Very readable (except for those times when we were in Sam's head too long and considered throwing the book against the wall, but it being on kindle and all).
There were bits that didn't make as much sense as it should have. One bit of note was Lirael having to figure out what a monster was - and later in the book that monster apparently being well known and common.
Well this could have been a romance. I was happier when I figured out where this was going.
