Lirael is finished! After doing Sabriel and finally read all the book I MUST draw lirael with the disreputable dog. Thank you Garth Nix for writing such amazing books

First of all, this book is not the one to read if you're new to the series. In some series, it doesn't really matter. In this case it really does (also; reading the creature in the case novella would be helpful here). While the book was enjoyable and a quick read (for me anyway) I will admit it wasn't entirely satisfying. I was never particularly concerned for the character's safety and parts of the ending felt a bit cheap, or like a rehash. That said; it works excellently if you take it as an epilogue. That's basically what it is. It wraps up the series nicely, though is not as satisfying as the other books. For which Abhorsen shall still be my favorite. It IS nice to see all the character interacting with one another though! (even if a few fan favorites who returned seemed to have little point other than as fan service, appearing and vanishing without proper weight) Don't come looking for the kind of epic in the previous books, and you won't be too terribly disappointed.

There was another series I know I’ve seen you and maybe spacepandar mention that was also some sort of fantasy proper noun I don’t recognize and I can’t ever think of the exact name when I think of looking for it. Any ideas what I might be blabbering ineffectually about?
