The long-buried secrets of the Old Kingdom and the Ninth Gate are revealed in the sequel to Sabriel and Lirael. Orannis, the Destroyer, has been freed from its subterranean prison and now seeks to unleash its terrible powers. Only Lirael, Abhorsen-in-Waiting, has any chance of stopping this enemy of all Life. As she and her companions - Sameth, the Disreputable Dog and Mogget - set out on their fated journey, Lirael has no idea of what lies ahead. Only days earlier, Lirael was merely a Second Assistant Librarian. Now, with only a vision from the Clayr to guide her and without the experience of Abhorsen Sabriel and King Touchstone, she must search both Life and Death for some means to defeat the Destroyer. Before it is too late...
I have just finished this and have no Idea what to write about it. I think I can sum it up in 1 single word - FABULOUS!!!! this seemed to tie up the other 2 books and was well worth the read :o)
Personally I think that Sabriel is the best of the trilogy (probably because everything is new and there are no expectations), but the other 2 (Lirael and this) are fabulous, and follow the entire story through to a fantastic conclusion. I recommend this series to everyone. Young and Old!
