This continues and concludes the story from Lirael. I enjoyed it, and am looking forward to the prequel and sequel books that Garth Nix has planned for the series.

Adorable

Was quite enjoyable, I even liked it more than the previous one! Though it is a sequel, it takes place many years later and the protagonists of Sabriel are more background characters. This book ends in the middle of a story, though, to be continued in the sequel.

Another great book by Dan Wells. It has some parallels with the new Battlestar Galactica in regards to the human-like Partials/Cylons, but takes it in a different direction with a different setting. The ending was satisfying, resolving the focused plotline, while leaving me excited for the sequel to continue and explore the larger scale conflict going on.

I have to admit, despite enjoying Sun & Moon, Ice & Snow and Princess of the Midnight Ball, I was doubtful when I heard that this was based on Cinderella. I decided to read it anyway, and am glad I did. I quite enjoyed it, and it wasn't lame or formulaic as I has expected. in fact, I loved it, and highly recommend checking it out, even if you haven't read the previous novel in the series. I was, however, let down by the ending. Everything up to that point was great, but the sudden and anti-climactic ‘resolution' was anything but. Not enough to ruin the book by any means, but the rest was so good it just made it that much more disappointing.
