Abhorsen Trilogy

"Rich, complex, involving, hard to put down, this first novel is excellent high fantasy."--Publishers Weekly "I think Garth Nix has created a really remarkable and persuasive world; and done it in the grand style of heroic romance-with some wonderful twists and turns. His Sabriel is a herione truly worthy of that role."--Lloyd Alexanderm, author of The Black Cauldron "Sabriel has a fast pace, drama, vivid descriptions, excitement and humour. Packs of putrefying zombies, too. What more could you want?"--Guardian Unlimited, Susan Price, author of The Sterkarm Handshake "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 Rich, complex, involving, hard to put down, this first novel is excellent high fantasy. --Publishers Weekly" I think Garth Nix has created a really remarkable and persuasive world; and done it in the grand style of heroic romance-with some wonderful twists and turns.
