2022 book 98

 Garth Nix's Terciel and Elinor

I have no idea why Nix decided we needed a prequel about Sabriel's parents, since we already know how their stories turned out, but I did end up really liking Elinor as a character (especially her time at the girls' school), and was glad we got to know her. My issue here is that once again the last like third of the book is everyone getting ready to fight a Big Bad, except it’s a Big Bad we already know, and so we already know how that turns out too. So it is just a slog to get through to see where things wind up. Not super fun. B.
