Right after I wrote this I realized there is also a sixth book. That's a lot of books to be disappointed in.

Haha, wow, I didn't know either! I did read Clariel, and I liked a lot about it, even though I felt it didn't work overall, there were some cool ideas. (Misc: it's inextricably linked in my mind with So Much For That (Lionel Shriver) because I was reading both around the same time, and both main characters worked metal.)

Didn't know there were another two! I enjoyed the trilogy overall but I didn't like Sabriel, so for me it's a two-book trilogy plus The Creature In The Case (I loved that!). xD I'm not super attached to the Old Kingdom series so I guess I might seek out books 5 and 6 sometime.

SA

Anyway Clariel is a prequel so it doesn't really fuck with the main trilogy. Idk about the others.
