Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen by Garth Nix
4.0
So I gave this story four stars, but really it was more 3.5. I liked that the heroine wasn't a traditional heroine. The story didn't turn out how one would hope, but it made it more realistic in that things don't always work out, and you don't always like the main character or a story.
Clariel was difficult to like. She was pretty self-centered, but most teenaged girls are. I could see where the story was going in the last few chapters, and it was more sad than anything at what she was to become...
People hating on this story is understandable, but I appreciate that Nix can write a book in which things aren't all pleasant and end well.
