5.0
rated high for the delight of that oh! moment in the last quarter of the book. i’m surprised i didn’t spoil it for myself by reading the last author’s note (i kept flipping back to see how many pages in the book). nix writes such strong, solid characters, i love clariel a lot. he speeds through the climax of the story quite quickly, but i usually enjoy the journey to get there enough that it doesn’t matter to me.
