Summary
The long-awaited fourth audiobook in the New York Times best-selling Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix.
Award-winning author Garth Nix returns to the Old Kingdom with a thrilling prequel complete with dark magic, royalty, dangerous action, a strong heroine, and flawless world-building. This epic fantasy adventure is destined to be a classic, and is perfect for fans of Game of Thrones.
Clariel is the daughter of one of the most notable families in the Old Kingdom, with blood relations to the Abhorsen and, most important, to the King. She dreams of living a simple life but discovers this is hard to achieve when a dangerous Free Magic creature is loose in the city, her parents want to marry her off to a killer, and there is a plot brewing against the old and withdrawn King Orrikan. When Clariel is drawn into the efforts to find and capture the creature, she finds hidden sorcery within herself, yet it is magic that carries great dangers. Can she rise above the temptation of power, escape the unwanted marriage, and save the King?

Another great listen
A good story about the lost Abhorsen. Not Tim Curry, but Graeme Malcolm does a good job

Narrator gets alot of flak..
.. But I thought he did a fine job. Only sometimes it sound like he reads on the in breath, which is freaky.
Im enjoying the complexity and ambiguity of the protagonist. Refreshing with the bitterness and an interesting depth to the lore.

A wonderful tale well read.
Returning to Garth Nick's series on Audible as I had been put off by some reviews. Honestly enjoyed this tale, with it's complementary narration.

A Gleeful Return to the Old Kingdom
What did you like most about Clariel: The Lost Abhorsen?
I loved getting back into the lore and magic system of the Charter. It is a good standalone novel as it has left me wanting more and I am now listening to the previous trilogy.
What did you like best about this story?
Exploring the Old Kingdom's history and Moggett!
What about Graeme Malcolm’s performance did you like?
He's not Tim Curry, but a very good narrator; he kept me interested.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did, pretty much. Only took me two days.
Any additional comments?
There wasn't enough Moggett in it, like many people he is my favourite charecter. It was nice however to see the slightly more evil side of him. The book is great, don't get me wrong.. but there was something lacking.. Even after I finished the book I was unsure of why Clariel becomes and I hope there is possibly more books to fill in more adventuires of Clariel.

A Welcome Addition
Clariel is an unexpected but welcome addition to the Abhorsen series. It precedes the Sabriel story by 600 years and adds some excellent backstory to the series. The narrator is good, but in my opinion Tim Curry (who narrated the first 3 audiobooks) does the accents/voices slightly better. A good listen! Would recommend if you liked the first 3 books.

Tim Curry we seek you, here, there & everywhere
Story brilliant as usual.
Tim, our dear friend, we are so glad to hear you say that you are now doing so well. How about redoing this book and Goldenhand? Really no one can possibly live up to your Mogget, it is an unfair task to set them. Until you do I will not be able to listen to Goldenhand, this narrator tried hard, and if he had not had to follow you I would probably have even liked him a lot, poor fellow, what an impossible task to pick up a series of yours half way through! However he was not kept for Goldenhand and I have listened to the sample of that narrator and all I can say is that I must reread the book for myself x

slow start but excellent writing as always
having read all books preceding this one I was surprised that this book was a prequel. I was glad to see it was in audio book form as I find it enjoyable to see the story's unfold in the order an author published them. great audio narration with lovely welsh accents , I especially likes the way Graeme Malcolm portrayed mogget

Disappointing
Narrator was monotone. The first half of the book was disappointing. Nothing really happened till halfway through. Then it seemed rushed.

Worth the wait! An Excellent tale.
Having read the other books in the Abhorsen series it is a pleasure that Garth Nix is able to keep the reader spellbound. Can't wait for the next one.
