Maybe you'll like the third book in the trilogy better, then (although the second is my favorite because it starts off with the best fictional library ever)--one of the two main characters is Sabriel's son (I promise, that's not a spoiler) who, when he ends up having to use the bells, feels hopelessly inept. There's a lot more tension built around him having to do things that he feels totally unprepared for.
