Garth Nix's Clariel
The fourth book in this series is set a few hundred years before the previous three, telling the story of a young Abhorsen relative who only wants to live a solitary life in the forest, but her family has moved her to the capital, where soon she becomes a political pawn. And I would have loved a book about her dealing with all the politics, and her interesting finishing school, and making friends, and putting jerks in their place. But the book goes in several unexpected directions, which at first is really interesting, but when you see where it’s going to end up, it's a really big bummer. B.
