Original Publication Year: 1995 Genre(s): YA, Fantasy Series: Abhorsen #1 Awards: Aurealis Award for Fantasy Novel and Young Adult Novel Format: Audio and in print Narrated by: Tim Curry I’ve decided, based with an n=2*, that the most imaginative writers of young adult fiction are Australian. The...
Nice quick easy read. I read it in about 24 hours i believe. Unfortunately the book didnt quite live up to my expectations. The world was interesting and the characters sympathetic but I've recently read about some incredible worlds that i can almost feel myself, and characters who jump pff the page...
I've been hearing about this book for a few years now and it has sat on my kindle for some time. I'm glad I finally picked it up to read it. The story is about Sabriel, who is from some magicalish kingdom which shares a border with what I think is our world. She is the daughter of the Abhorsen wh...

Now after having finished the whole thing in less than 36 hours, I realized I hardly gave it a fighting chance and that was...
I think that was my favorite quote in the book. Strangely touching. First this took me a while to finish because my sinus and headaches plagued me for 2 week, so this was read in fits and stops and I was not able to get in the flow as much as other books. BUT I enjoyed this book a lot. The sto...
Well that was a fun and exciting read! The minute I saw this book on GR, I knew it was going to be a hit with me. I don't know if it was the description of the story or the beautiful cover but this book was wonderful!The main character and heroine of the story, Sabriel, takes a dangerous and daring ...
If you’re in the mood for a roller-coaster ride of cheap thrills and instant gratification save Sabriel for another day. Garth Nix introduces his fabulous world in rather more reserved prose than is the norm’ for fantasy authors but, like the insidious and glacial river which draws souls through t...
