From the back of the book:
Well, all I have to say is Wow. This book, the final in the trilogy, is the best of the three. It is breathtaking, brilliant, heartrending and beautiful. Mr. Nix mixes the right amount of personal feelings, great characterization, strife and love into this book. I honestly can't think of a single way to make it any better.
This book does not stand alone, it is the final "chapter" of the ongoing story of the Old Kingdom. I found it hard to put down, and I'm having some issues with the non-finality of the ending, but that's just me. I feel like there could be more told, but perhaps there is something in the works that I do not know about. Regardless, it was a fantastic book and it was totally worth the time spent reading it.
Anyway, everyone will like this book, although some of the scenes may be frightening (again with the dead people, etc.). I would recommend that this be saved for teens over the age of 13 or so, depending on maturity. There is some violence, but no cursing or romance.

With the help of her companions and a vision from the Clayr to guide her, Lirael must search in both Life and Death for some means to defeat the Destroyer - before it is too late...
