Lirael was born and raised among the Clayr, but without their power of Sight. This book follows Sabriel, the second in the trilogy. The story is very good but it left me hanging whereas one could read Sabriel and not move on in the series if you didn't choose to do so which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The heroine is courageous, uncertain, adventurous and curious as can be. She discovers that she has more skills than she believed possible - just not the ones she wants most. Garth Nix fans will want to put this one on their list to read - particularly if reading this series. It is a very good read.
