About this listen

 Lirael has never felt like a true daughter of the Clayr. Abandoned by her mother, ignorant of her father's identity, Lirael resembles no one else in her large extended family living in the Clayr's glacier. She doesn't even have the Sight--the ability to See into the present and possibly futures--that is the very birthright of the Clayr.

Nonetheless, it is Lirael in whose hands the fate of the Old Kingdom lies. She must undertake a desperate mission under the growing shadow of an ancient evil--one that opposes the Royal Family, blocks the Sight of the Clayr, and threatens to break the very boundary between Life and Death itself. With only her faithful companion, the Disreputable Dog to help her, Lirael must find the courage to seek her own hidden destiny.©2003 Garth Nix; (P)2003 Random House, Inc.

Tim Curry does an excellent job as narrator of this novel, which I enjoyed reading some years ago. I thought his narration was stronger than his character voices, but they were still good and the overall listening experience was both engaging and very satisfying.

I loved it even more than the first book. Tim Curry's narration is pure perfection, wish he narrated all audio books :)

Lirael, the solitary daughter of the Clayr, and Sameth, the reluctant Abhorsen-in-Waiting, both seek the same man who may hold the key to an ancient evil stirring in the West. But the Dead cannot be laid to rest until the strange secret linking the fate of Lirael and Sameth is revealed. The Disreputable Dog is one to remember! A witty, well-written story about magic and adventure.
