Lirael lost one of her hands in the binding of Orannis, but now she has a new hand, one of gilded steel and Charter Magic. On a dangerous journey, Lirael returns to her childhood home, the Clayr s Glacier, where she was once a Second Assistant Librarian. There, a young woman from the distant North brings her a message from her long-dead mother, Arielle. It is a warning about the Witch with No Face. But who is the Witch, and what is she planning?
An entirely satisfying read. I hope Mr. Nix writes more in this series, but since I like pretty much everything he writes, I just want him to keep writing.
However, this series does have something for fans of talking cats. I'd say more but spoilers.
