Praise for Sabriel

Sabriel is a winner, a fantasy that reads like realism。 Here is a world with the same solidity and four dimensional authority as our own, created with invention, clarity, and intelligence。 I congratulate Garth Nix。 And I look forward to reading his next piece of work。” —Philip Pullman, author of His Dark Materials trilogy

“Rich, complex, involving, hard to put down, excellent high fantasy。” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Nix has created an ingenious, icy world。 The action charges along at a gallop。 A page-turner for sure。” —ALA Booklist (starred review)

“An involving fantasy that takes off running and doesn’t let up the pace until the final page。 The pacing is exquisite, the suspense rising and falling and rising again until the truly edge-of-your-seat finale。 A winner for fantasy and adventure lovers。” —BCCB

Praise for Lirael

“What makes Lirael a delight is the magic that Nix brings to his story and to his characters。” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Riveting。 Readers who like their fantasy intense in action, magisterial in scope, and apocalyptic in consequences will revel in every work。” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Praise for Abhorsen

“Nix brings his trilogy to a literally earth-shattering conclusion。 Action explodes from the very first pages。 Breathtaking, bittersweet, and utterly unforgettable。” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“This title has a cinematic sweep; the tense, climactic confrontation pulls from the very beginning into a tightly constructed, satisfying conclusion。” —BCCB

There are only a few fantasy settings that I can picture clearly in my mind and The Old Kingdom is one of them。 I was swept into this universe from the very first page and I am not ashamed to tell you that I am a teensy bit obsessed with Sabriel。 To be perfectly honest, I feel like Lirael's journey isn't as great as Sabriel and I would have happily read the rest of book 2 and 3 if it were purely about my favourite Abhorsen in book 1 but it was so amazing to read the lore, find out more about the There are only a few fantasy settings that I can picture clearly in my mind and The Old Kingdom is one of them。 I was swept into this universe from the very first page and I am not ashamed to tell you that I am a teensy bit obsessed with Sabriel。 To be perfectly honest, I feel like Lirael's journey isn't as great as Sabriel and I would have happily read the rest of book 2 and 3 if it were purely about my favourite Abhorsen in book 1 but it was so amazing to read the lore, find out more about the magical world she lives in and just generally meet cool characters everywhere。 Nicholas Sayre (bless him) is knocked out for like 90% of the book and unfortunately, in Goldenhand (which continues The Old Kingdom series), his job is basically just being Lirael's supportive boyfriend and I don't mind that at all。 I warmed up to Lirael eventually in the third book when she started to embrace her destiny。 Overall, this series grows with you and I am so happy and grateful I picked out the first book in my school library and followed it for years after that。 The path truly does choose the walker。 。。。more
