Sir Odo and Sir Eleanor still think of themselves as unlikely knights.

More than a century has passed since Liliath crept into the empty sarcophagus of Saint Marguerite, fleeing the Fall of Ystara. But she emerges from her magical sleep still beautiful, looking no more than 19, and once again renews her single-minded quest to be united with her lover, Palleniel, the archangel of Ystara. It's a seemingly impossible quest, but Liliath is one of the greatest practitioners of angelic magic to have ever lived, summoning angels and forcing them to do her bidding. Four young people hold her interest. But none of them know just how Liliath plans to use them....

Story
You'd think being a Prince in a vast intergalactic empire would be about as good as it gets, particularly when Princes are faster, smarter, and stronger than normal humans. Not to mention being mostly immortal. But it isn't as great as it sounds. Princes need to be hard to kill - as Khemri learns the minute he becomes one - for they are always in danger. Their greatest threat? Other Princes. Every Prince wants to become Emperor, and the surest way to do so is to kill, dishonor, or sideline any potential competitor.

Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer. Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom. And Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people.

Publisher's Summary
It is strange enough that Odo and Eleanor have stumbled upon a sword in a dried-up river outside their village. It is even stranger that Odo is able to remove it from where it's buried. And it's remarkably strange when the sword starts to talk.
Odo and Eleanor have unearthed Biter, a famous fighter from earlier times. By finding Biter, Odo instantly becomes a knight - a role he is exquisitely unsuited for. Eleanor, however, would make a perfect knight - but she's not the one with the sword.
Finding Biter is only the start - boy, girl, and sword must soon go on a quest to save their kingdom from threats in both human and dragon form in this new fantasy triumph from Garth Nix and Sean Williams.

Took a bit to get into, but had a satisfying finish.
Garth Nix was my favorite fantasy writer growing up because I really enjoy his world building, and I like how he can write strong female characters without the point of the story being that they are a woman. The main girl, Elenor, in this story missed that mark, she’s constantly trying to be a strong female, and she is constantly adding “or she” when somebody talks about a theoretical person. My issue is it seems unwarranted for the world. Her mother was a respected knight, and no one tells Elenor that she can’t do something because she’s a girl once through the entire novel. So she is a strong independent woman in a world full of strong women, and she feels the need to talk down her male friend and that made the first half of the book a kind of slog to get through. In the end it was enjoyable, the world felt full, there were unexpected beats in the story, but reading any sequels will not be a priority for a while.

Eh, depressing
I made it through half the book and just had to turn it off. It's depressing. The constant negative self reflection is not worth my time.
