Garth nix sabriel series5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Why did I take away one star, then? My issue lies with the first half of the book. Thankfully, this wonderfully written and utterly absorbing story was far from disappointing. Seeing that it’s also known as one of the pioneers in the young adult high fantasy genre, I had pretty high expectations for it. ![]() With SABRIEL, the first installment in the Abhorsen trilogy, Garth Nix exploded onto the fantasy scene as a rising star, in a novel that takes readers to a world where the line between the living and the dead isn’t always clear-and sometimes disappears altogether.Įver since hearing about Sabriel and catching sight of its gorgeous new cover, I’ve been dying to read it. And every step brings them closer to a battle that will pit them against the true forces of life and death-and bring Sabriel face-to-face with her own destiny. As the three travel deep into the Old Kingdom, threats mount on all sides. She soon finds companion in Mogget, a cat whose aloof manner barely conceals its malevolent spirit, and Touchstone, a young Charter Mage long imprisoned by magic, now free in body but still trapped by painful memories. But during her final semester, her father, the Abhorsen, goes missing, and Sabriel knows she must enter the Old Kingdom to find him. Sent to a boarding school in Ancelstierre as a young child, Sabriel has had little experience with the random power of Free Magic or the Dead who refuse to stay dead in the Old Kingdom. ![]() Dark secrets, deep love, and dangerous magic. ![]()
