" While I did enjoy Lirael, I didn't like it as much as Sabriel, mostly because I found Sam rather annoying. I did love the contrast between Sam/Mogget and Lirael/Dog though, often they were the comedic aspect needed to brighten up a particularly dreary section, but there was always the underlying knowledge that they were something more than what they seemed. I did like this book, and I have read it more than once since buying it, but I definitely prefer Sabriel as a protagonist. "
