All great books by the man Garth Nix. I strongly reccomend them if you are interested in necromancy and magic.

Never heard of the guy. Maybe I'll look him up. Is it like a series he writes? Or different kinds of books.

It's a series. I have all three :3 But I haven't gotten around to reading anything other than Sabriel. After reding it, I wanted to bad to find out what happened with Mogget and whatnot, but then I got bogged down with homework, and now, a week later, it just doens't seem like such an appealing read anymore.

all three were really good books. i loved the end of Abhorsen, made me wish he wrote more to the series.

Started reading Sabriel, but I hated the writing style. I couldn't stand it, and i have no idea as to why?

[color=red]Couldn't say. I, for one, [u][i][b]love [/b][/i][/u]Garth Nix's writing style. But that's besides the point.

The poster of this thread should probably have specified the Sabriel series, because Garth Nix has done many other good books: for example, Shade's Children and the Kingdom Key series. All are excellent, though I must say that the Sabriel series is definately my fave. ^_^ Oh, and he made sort of sequel, called "Over the Wall" I believe, though I haven't read it. Just saw it when I went somewhere for a fantasy/sci-fi convention.[/color]

Garth Nix is awesome. I loved the Sabriel series. The second one (can't spell it 'cause I don't have it in front of me. >.>) was really hard for me to get through, but I loved Sabriel. Abhorsen was... Good, but sad. To me at least.

He is one of my absolute FAVORITE authors. I've read near everything of his. I believe this is his record:

The Old Kingdom Trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen)
Across the Wall (Old Kingdom add-on, plus short stories)
The Ragwitch
The Seventh Tower (Series..And my favorite of his works)
Shade's Children
The Keys to the Kingdom (Seven book series; Monday - Thursday is out)

I've got them all! :O And so should you!
