Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Clariel (Abhorsen #4)
Sixteen-year-old Clariel is not adjusting well to her new life in the city of Belisaere, the capital of the Old Kingdom. She misses roaming freely within the forests of Estwael, and she feels trapped within the stone city walls. And in Belisaere she is forced to follow the plans, plots and demands of everyone, from her parents to her maid, to the sinister Guildmaster Kilp. Clariel can see her freedom slipping away. It seems too that the city itself is descending into chaos, as the ancient rules binding Abhorsen, King and Clayr appear to be disintegrating.With the discovery of a dangerous Free Magic creature loose in the city, Clariel is given the chance both to prove her worth and make her escape. But events spin rapidly out of control. Clariel finds herself more trapped than ever, until help comes from an unlikely source. But the help comes at a terrible cost. Clariel must question the motivations and secret hearts of everyone around her - and it is herself she must question most of all.

THANK GOD IT'S OVER!!!! That was one of the most painful reading experiences I have had in a long time. I honestly have not idea why the author felt this book needed to exist.It really didn't.Now, it was a long time ago that I read the Old Kingdom trilogy, but I am vaguely aware of liking it, if I can't quite remember the details. For example I have no idea who Clariel is supposed to become in the original series. Her name is mentioned at the end of the book, and it rings a bell, but consideringIts a bit surprising to me to see the disappointed reviews of this, because I quite enjoyed it. Of course, its a different world to the one Sabriel enters, and different even from the world that Lirael and Sameth have to navigate as Sabriel and Touchstone work on restoring the Old Kingdom. This one doesnt feature any contact with Ancelstierre, and is set before even Touchstone/Torrigans time. So naturally, the concerns of its people, the politics, are all quite different. Its interesting to see
2.5I didn't hate this book, but considering that the original trilogy is still one of my Top 10 of all time, and how long we've been waiting for this prequel... I am all hella kinda of disappointed.I feel like the biggest issue with this book is that Clariel is just so one dimensional. Well, that and the fact that kinda everyone sucks except Belatiel and Kargrin. (I kinda think the book might been better if it were written about Belatiel and Clariel stayed a secondary character, but we learned
Obviously its not fair to review this since I didn't finish it but I just can't take it anymore. Garth Nix's "Abhorsen" books are just wonderful. I believe I waxed rhapsodic about Tim Curry's outstanding narration of the first three books in this series that chronicle two kingdoms; the Old Kingdom where the Charter (basically a magic that connects everything in the kingdom) rules and necromancer's, free magic users, and the dead are kept in check by the Abhorsen (basically a wizard who can walk
This review originally appeared on my blog, Books Without Any Pictures:http://bookswithoutanypictures.com/20...Disclaimer: This is a ridiculously early review.When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with Garth Nixs Abhorsen trilogy. I read and re-read Sabriel and Lirael until the paperbacks very clearly showed how much theyd been loved, and jumped for joy when Abhorsen was finally released. Nixs stories had everything to loveundead villains, strong protagonists, sarcastic kitties, bardic weapons,
This book was hard to read, but not for the reasons youre probably thinking of.Garth Nixs writing was the best its ever been. Its not my favorite style, but I like it nonetheless. The plot was engaging, the pacing was good not fantastic, but not widely variable or unbearably slow and the worldbuilding was, as usual, wonderful.This was hard for me to read because Clariel reminded me a lot of myself when I was younger.My parents took me out of the public school system after 8th grade and
Out of the series so far I felt that this was one of the best ones. Clariel is a nice strong female lead character and although she makes lots of mistakes she never gives up. It was interesting to see much more of Mogget whose character I still have not really worked out. I wonder if a future book will feature him and explain what he actually is and why he is bound. I have really liked this series so far and really enjoy Garth Nix's world building. The idea of the Abhorsen is excellent as is
