    <![CDATA[Fourteen years have passed since the necromancer Sabriel bound the  Greater Dead Adept Kerrigor beyond the Ninth Gate and helped restore King  Touchstone to the Old Kingdom throne. Now she rules at his side as Abhorsen, the  sole necromancer of the Old Kingdom, keeping the people safe from the dark power  of Free Magic. But this is not just Sabriel's tale. It is also the story of  Hedge, a mysterious necromancer who is digging up a monstrous evil that could  utterly destroy the Old Kingdom. And it is the story of Prince Sameth,  Touchstone and Sabriel's only son, who would rather fight an entire army of Dead  than disappoint his beloved parents. And Sam's friend Nick, who has unknowingly  loosed Free Magic into the Old Kingdom, blissfully ignorant of its complete  malevolence. But mostly, this is the tale of Lirael, the only daughter of the  future-seeing Clayr who does not possess the Sight. Burying the pain of her  Sightlessness in the Clayr's great library, Third Assistant Librarian Lirael's  insatiable curiosity will soon lead her to an unbelievable destiny that may even  be connected with that of the great Sabriel herself. <p>  Garth Nix's stunning sequel to <em>Sabriel</em>, full of Mages,  Moggets, and even a Disreputable Dog, is on par with the equally superb works of  Philip Pullman and William Nicholson. And fantasy lovers of all ages will be  thrilled to discover that <em>Lirael</em> ends with more questions than answers,  which will mean a third dip into Nix's beguiling Charter Magic. Both  exhilarating and mesmerizing, this fine novel is pure enchantment. (Ages 12 and  older) <em>--Jennifer Hubert</em></p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I hate the stars. HATE them. Anyway, I *love* being in the middle of this trilogy and enjoyed the hell out of this book so I gave it five stars because it's better than four. In the first two books (I just started the third) there's a great balance between lush descriptions of a detailed, magical wo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57993681">more...</a>]]></body>
