I loved it. I haven't read the first book but this can be read as a stand alone. An exciting, hold on to your hat story. It was an audio book, which added to the magic. A brilliant storyx x

I got extremely sick of Susan saying, out loud, to everyone 'but I just wanna be normal', but enjoyed basically every other aspect of this one. Vivien better get her own book one day though. I wanna see this world from someone willing participating in it next.

Really liked the first book and Garth Nix in general but this one was such a slog for me. I just couldn't get into it. I finally managed to get to the end but not without a lot of pain and heartache which is not my usual Nix experience.
