I've been waiting years for this book and it was well worth it. While it a few pages for me to remember the details of the Old Kingdom, I really enjoyed learning more about the Abhorsens. It also explained much about what happened in the years before Sabriel. Clariel grew up as the daughter of a premier goldsmith. But her mother had little interest in her. Clariel had no goldsmithing talent but she loved animals and the land and wanted nothing more than to live in the forest. But when her mother is called to the city, Clariel must go as well. She discovers that when she gets angry, she becomes a berserk, a fighting talent to be reckoned with. She's learning Charter magic but she never really thought about it before. Then she crosses Free Magic and is seduced by a Free Magic being. Suddenly there is free magic overwhelming her Charter magic. Add Moggett to the mix and you have a super powerful free magic berserk running around who really only wants to be alone in the forest and if she has to go through an army to get there, she will. It was a fans imaging story on multiple levels and Clariel was a great character.
