This seriously was and still is my favorite young adult fantasy trilogy! I have read it several times. I loved everything about this series, however, I wish each book was a trilogy that focused on the main character, like I would have loved more stories from Sabriel and Lirael. Companion novels are ...

I went into this book knowing pretty much nothing at all about it. It was recommended by a good friend who generally has good (i.e., similar to mine :D) tastes, so I felt good about picking it up! Funny enough, outside of Lord of the Rings, it's the oldest fantasy I've read. Which, I know I know, is...

Surprisingly, excellent... like, actually feminist. Sabriel is a recent graduate that gradually comes into her own, growing into power, confidence and authority over the course of this first book. The romantic element is handled pretty gracefully, too, and the world and magical underpinnings are com...

You know sometimes when you read a book that’s just so good you get kind of overwhelmed and when you finish it you just need to cry to let all of your feelings out? Yeah. This. Fucking. Book. I read it a couple of times when I was a teenager but I haven’t read it for at least ten years, and let me t...

Sabriel, how I truly wanted to adore and praise you but alas, it wasn't meant to be. There were moments of awesome...Hello Mogget!!...alongside long stretches of...YAAWWNN...complete boredom....then there was Mogget again YAY! The hubby and I listened to this book and the narrator was quite good...e...

Firstly, I feel ashamed that I hadn't heard about this series, nor that Garth Nix is an Aussie, before it was recommended to me by an American friend... Way to support local authors me XD I quite enjoyed the premise behind this, and I'm always happy to find things that negate the ability to use fi...

Synopsis For many years Sabriel has lived outside the walls of the Old Kingdom, away from the random power of Free Magic, and away from the Dead who won't stay dead. But now her father, the Mage Abhorsen, is missing, and to find him Sabriel must cross back into that treacherous world - and face the ...

Sabriel is classic fantasy book that has been on my reading list since 2011 (according to Goodreads). Basically, I knew I wanted to read it since I first read the blurb, but for whatever reason, I didn't give it the attention I knew it deserved. Until now. Having finished the audio version yesterda...

Hey guys, I hope you’re all having a great day and this is my review to Sabriel by Garth Nix. This book is also the first in the Abhorsen Trilogy. :D 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 re...

This book was recommended to me by a dear friend who thought I would like the purgatory aspect of it because of the content of one of my own novels. I don't read a lot of high fantasy but this book has really changed my outlook on that. What a fantastic and suspenseful story (not to mention frighten...
