I can easily say that I am completely in love with this series. They are literally everything I have been looking for in a YA series. My only regret is that I never read these when I was younger (I was constantly picking them up at the library, but I never actually read them). Lirael is the sequel t...
I loved Sabriel, so I was excited for the sequel. I did like it, though it does one of those abrupt time jumps that I often find disconcerting. Lirael is a new character and I found her journey a little less interesting and convincing than Sabriel’s. In general, the world-building that I had liked i...

Like its predecessor, Sabriel, Lirael is a remarkable feat of imaginative storytelling. Utterly gripping, it is, in Philip Pullman's words, 'fantasy that reads like realism'.It's a continuation of the story that began with Sabriel, though the point of view has moved to that of a teenage girl growing...
