Publisher's Summary
The long-awaited fifth installment in Garth Nix's New York Times best-selling Old Kingdom series, for listeners who enjoy series by Rae Carson, Kristin Cashore, Scott Westerfeld, and Cassandra Clare.
Goldenhand takes place six months after the events of Abhorsen and follows the novella Nicholas Sayre and the Creature in the Case, which is featured in Across the Wall.
Lirael lost one of her hands in the binding of Orannis, but now she has a new hand, one of gilded steel and Charter Magic. On a dangerous journey, Lirael returns to her childhood home, the Clayr's Glacier, where she was once a Second Assistant Librarian. There a young woman from the distant North brings her a message from her long-dead mother, Arielle. It is a warning about the Witch with No Face. But who is the Witch, and what is she planning? Lirael must use her new powers to save the Old Kingdom from this great danger - and it must be forestalled not only in the living world but also in the cold, remorseless river of Death.

Ties up all the loose ends
I miss Tim Curry but Heather is ok. Not the same animation in her voices.
Ad for story I loved that it wrapped things up. Die hards won't be disappointed. Newbies probably won't like it even if it explains enough as you go to understand. You have to be invested in the characters to like this book. Love it or hate it is the likely result.

Stick with the main Abhorsen Trilogy
The main Abhorsen Trilogy is worth reading but the two additional books, Clariel and Goldenhand don't add much to the story. This book in particular is incredibly slow and the narrator is not the greatest. I wanted to like it but just couldn't.
