THE SINISTER BOOKSELLERS OF BATH by Garth Nix is a sequel to The
Left-Handed Booksellers of London and, as such, is not really a
stand-alone title. There is quite a bit of back story about Susan, Merlin, and
others involved with the secret booksellers. Still, readers will appreciate
Nix’s skill in building another crescendo as he relates the fantasy adventures set
in Bath and other realms. It all begins with a magical map and the awakening of
a malevolent force acting like a serial killer. Susan (only half-mortal) is
concerned with sacrificing her “normal” life as an art student, but steps into
help and becomes a target. With quick pace and a complex alternative world,
this is a very satisfying read and sinister indeed!
