Description Supposing Books Lirael (Abhorsen #2)
Lirael has never felt like a true daughter of the Clayr. Now, two years past the time when she should have received the Sight that is the Clayr's birthright, she feels alone, abandoned, unsure of who she is. Nevertheless, the fate of the Old Kingdom lies in her hands. With only her faithful companion, the Disreputable Dog, Lirael must undertake a desperate mission under the growing shadow of an ancient evil. In this sequel to Sabriel, winner of the Aurealis Award for Excellence in Australian Science Fiction, New York Times best-selling author Garth Nix weaves a spellbinding tale of discovery, destiny, and danger.

So theres this girl, and she lives in a Glacier. Yes, a real glacier. Its in a tall mountain at the very tip-top of her country, and she lives there with thousands of cousins, who are collectively called The Clayr, most of whom are female and have the pale blonde hair and tanned skin that marks them as one of their own. They are entitled to this sobriquet because every single one of them can see the future. Every single one of them, except Lirael, that is. Most Clayr receive the Sight by the ageI'm really enjoying this series. Check it out if you get the chance!
Actual rating 4.5/5 stars. This is the second instalment in the Abhorsen series. Whilst Sabriel wrapped up in a satisfactory manner, I still was left with many questions and so was a little disappointed , initially, to find that Lirael takes place fourteen years after the events depicted in book one. This disappointment was short lived as I was introduced to the immediately lovable Lirael, daughter of the Clayr but without their infamous sight for future events. She is disheartened at her lack

[4 Stars] I'm conflicted about this rating because the first half of the book was probably more like a 5 star book, the last half of the book was more 4 stars, and all of Sameth's parts were around 3.5 or even 3 stars. Why did Sameth have to be just as annoying as Lirael was amazing? Lirael was seriously such a fantastic protagonist, and I wish the book had focused almost entirely on her as opposed to bringing Sameth into the picture. He just seems like a bit of a waste in all honesty: annoying,
When the Dead do walk, seek waters run, for this the Dead will always shun. Swift rivers best or broadest lake to ward the Dead and haven make. If water fails thee, fires thy friend; if neither guards, it will be thy end. Well this was freaking awesome!As a sequel where the main character from Book 1 isnt the main focus - I was a bit worried; but there was no need because Lirael continued the story of the Old Kingdom and the dead fantastically! The blue hats shaded silver sightless eye sockets,
I wasnt very interested in this book. Sabriel was an enjoyable read having me guessing what will happen next, however, with this book I dont feel the same connection. I dont really have much to say about this. Ill read this book again in the future but for now... eh. DNF - page 92
