Thanks to Abbey for commissioning another episode of Lirael! This has been a lot of fun to read now that we're in more than one POV, and I feel like the author is really getting better at setting up who these characters are before we get into the main adventure.
Lirael isn't having the best time. Spoiler alert, neither is Sameth. He's supposed to be studying the Book Of The Dead, and yet just touching it causes what amounts to a PTSD flashback, which sucks and makes him super self-conscious when seeing his parents again. Meanwhile, Lirael still isn't gifted with Sight, and decides to go on a bit of a quest with the Despicable Dog, which leads to a really ancient cave that literally bears her name.
What in the Abhorsen is going on here?
Thanks for listening, and I will see you again soon with a new episode!
