Summary
She had become an Abhorsen, Lirael thought, at least on the outside.
Critic reviews
"At once an allegory regarding war and peace and a testament to friendship, this thought-provoking fantasy also resolves the true identities of the popular Dog and Mogget characters and suggests that Nix may still have more tricks up his sleeve." ( Publishers Weekly)

An Incredible Listen
This book is beautifully written, as is always the case with Garth Nix. I did not expect to find an audio version which even began to portray the beauty and depth of his world, but Tim Curry was definitely the right person to chose to do so. If you've read the series, or are simply looking to find out if it's any good, I would definitely suggest listening to this.

Heart-stopping
Abhorsen starts with one of the most heart-stopping moments ever. Anything I say about the plot in this third of the Old Kingdom books inevitably contains spoilers, so I shan't. If you haven't listened to Sabriel and Lirael, then go back and do so first, you won't know what's going on here and you won't have already fallen in love with all the characters. All three are read by Tim Curry and all in all, are pretty much my idea of perfection.
Actually, the ending is pretty heart-stopping too. Unreservedly recommended.

That ending...
I have a meeting with HR tomorrow to explain why I am crying at my desk. Nice work Nix!
As good as this story is, in both conception and realisation, it is undoubtedly Tim Curry's spellbinding performance that makes this a must listen.

Having loved the books I got these audio versions and haven't been disappointed! The narrator does a fantastic job and I have had many happy hours listening! Already listened to them all twice! Fantastic!

Awesome
Brilliant climax to a superb trilogy. Moves from the Sameth/Lirael 'discovering their identities' phase to riveting action. Brilliantly read, and wonderful characters. The Disreputable Dog and Mogget are witty and intelligent additions to the blossoming pair of Sameth and Lirael, for whom you find yourself rooting for more and more as the tension mounts. A great pity it had to end.
