Garth Nix's Goldenhand
The fifth book in this series picks up where the third left off (though the fourth becomes relevant), but I thought it was one of the weakest entries so far. There are two parallel POVs—Lirael, doing Abhorsen things, reuniting with Nick; and a young nomad woman on a journey to bring Lirael a message from her long-dead mother. I still like all the characters but the plot here was basically nothing—gotta defeat another Big Bad—and the increased focus on romance was weirdly awkward (except at the very end when it was funny). I did like seeing the librarians again. B.
