Goldenhand
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
Goldenhand takes place six months after the events of Abhorsen and follows the novella Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case, which is featured in Across the Wall.
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? Lirael must use her new powers to save the Old Kingdom from this great danger—and it must be forestalled not only in the living world but also in the cold, remorseless river of Death.

Nix returns to the Old Kingdom with a solid addition to his popular series. Lirael is now Abhorsen-in-Waiting, a far cry from the lowly Second Assistant Librarian she once was. Her older sister, the Abhorsen Sabriel, has trained her in the use of the dangerous magical bells that control the dead. She has been to the land of Death, survived losing a hand, received a magical replacement, and fallen in love. Now the Old Kingdom seems peaceful, just the time for Sabriel and King Touchstone to take a vacation, leaving Lirael in charge. Unfortunately, the ancient, evil Chlorr of the Mask has secretly raised a sorcerous army and is poised to strike. Only by leaving the Kingdom and crossing the Great Rift to a place with neither Charter Magic nor air, can Lirael and her new crush destroy the descending evil. Lirael is a complex character, both bold warrior and lovesick teenager, and the Old Kingdom remains a fascinating fantasy realm. Longtime readers will appreciate cameo appearances by Mogget and the Disreputable Dog, two of the series’ oddest and most endearing characters. Ages 13–up.

Fans of Garth Nix will be delighted to return once again to the world of the ‘Old Kingdom’ series, with Goldenhand plunging the reader straight back into where Abhorsen left off 13 years ago. Second assistant librarian Lirael is sent an urgent summons that reunites her with Nicholas Sayre. Unsure of what to make of the Free Magic inside Nick (or her growing feelings for him) Lirael takes him to her old home in the Clayr glacier. While Lirael and Nick grow closer, a young warrior from the nomadic tribes, Ferin, is on the run, carrying an urgent message for Lirael that concerns the terrifying Witch With No Face. Failure to deliver the message will mean nothing less than the destruction of her tribe. This is the book that fans have been waiting for, one that ties up loose ends and reunites us with beloved characters. It’s great to see Lirael grow as an Abhorsen, and Ferin is an excellent addition to the series—her chase scenes and the mythology surrounding the tribes are utterly engrossing. This is perfect fare for readers aged 12 and up looking for an original fantasy world. The only caveat is that this isn’t a standalone novel, and after so long since the release of Abhorsen, even some ‘Old Kingdom’ fans may need to reread the previous novels before embarking on Goldenhand’s journey.
