My only complaint about this companion book is that it’s too short. It’s sad that after having invested so much into the world Nix has created, we will never have any more stories about The Old Kingdom and the Abhorsen. Personally, I want to see many more smaller stories like this one about the exploits of all the characters and the people and creatures they’re fighting against to make their world safe and secure for their people. I want to see more about the blossoming relationship between Nick and Lirael. Otherwise, the story is fun to follow, and the other little short stories about various worlds and other things Nix has created are interesting as well.
