Goldenhand by Garth Nix

Let’s get this out of the way: this is the book where Garth Nix stops teasing us with the Nick/Lireal relationship. That alone should be why you read this. If you’re not an Old Kingdom fan coming into this book, I can’t say it will convert you. I also don’t think this can be read without reading the original trilogy because there are so many sweet, sweet moments for the fans in this book. I am, if you cannot tell, a fan.
