Story5 out of 5 stars 4,026
Before she went to join Sam and Mogget downstairs, Lirael paused for a moment to look at herself in the tall silver mirror that hung on the wall of her room. The image that faced her bore little resemblance to the Second Assistant Librarian of the Clayr. She saw a warlike and grim young woman, dark hair bound back with a silver cord rather than hanging free to disguise her face. She no longer wore her librarian's waistcoat, and she had a long Nehima at her side rather than a library-issue dagger.

A great conclusion to a wonderful series

Fantastic book, end ruined by music
Reviewed: 03-26-15
I loved this book, and Tim Curry's performance is great. The end is ruined by loud music playing over it. It's really hard to concentrate and hear the end of the story. It is the same with the other books in the series. It's so distracting and irritating, it makes finishing them far less satisfying.

Discovering that he has nine lives and is destined to be the next ‘Chrestomanci’ is not part of Christopher’s plans for the future: he’d much rather play cricket and wander around his secret dream worlds. But he soon finds that destiny is difficult to avoid, and that having more than the usual number of lives is pretty inconvenient - especially when you lose them as easily as he does!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
This is a great story, and beautifully read. Unfortunately it's ruined by horrible synthesizer music, over the beginning and end of the chapters.
