Quite definitely the second book in a trilogy (although by now, 2022, Nix has written several others in the series). Here you will want to have read Sabriel first, to establish the framework and know Sabriel and Touchstone's story. Llrael is immensely appealing - an outsider who just wants to fit in to a very homegenous society. And the Disreputable Dog is fabulous. I had a harder time relating to Sam, but he also has appealing qualities. HIs story mirrors Lirael's - although he clearly knows his place, he is not going to be what his family expects. Good action, the same great world-building, but it does end on a cliffhanger.
