Hostile and self-centered, Clariel makes an interesting (if not entirely likable) protagonist; her depiction as (emphatically!) asexual and aromantic is refreshing […] A thunderstorm of a tale, bitter and brutal but dazzling in its ferocity.
— Kirkus. and i didn’t think i could get MORE excited for garth nix’s upcoming CLARIEL, prequel to the old kingdom trilogy (aka the Abhorsen series). representation!
for those interested … it comes out october 14th and it’s gonna kick ass

#Abhorsen #oh hey there’s a new Abhorsen book coming out? #I find the repeated use of words like ‘selfish’ and ‘self-centered’ in the description suspicious though #I’m worried it’s going to be another one of those stories that’s like #Heroic Sacrifices Are the Bare Minimum of Decency #If You Are Unwilling to Make Them You Are a Villain in the Story of Life #you know #that kind of bullshit #and anyway I haven’t even read A Confusion of Princes yet
