Lirael and Abhorsen are not really two books. That is to say that the story continues from one to the next.
Together they are both excellent books. Though I will admit that they were not as enjoyable as the first time I read them. (The first time they were read to me when I was much younger.) They are aimed at children but I think that adults can enjoy them.
Lireal begins with the eponymous character contemplating suicide. Naturally this is a dark opening of a children's book. However I think that NiX handles the subject matter very well. We follow Lireal and the other characters through two worlds.
Abhorsen continues right from where Lireal finishes. Lireal is joined by Sam as they travel across the Old Kingdom to prevent the release of a deadly power.
I realise that this isn't going to win any awards for reviews. I just want you to read these books. I hope you enjoy reading them. If you have any questions about these books let me know.
