Summary: Sabriel-by Garth Nix
Review: Sabriel is an exellent novel for Young Adults. Sabriel's father, a necromancer, is trapped in death and Sabriel must travel into the magical Old Kingdom to rescue him. Along the way she encounters many dead creatures she must destroy. Traveling with her are the Prince of the Old Kingdom and a Free Magic creature bound to her will named Mogget. In the end Sabriel must destroy the dead adept that is planning to, and in a way already has, wreak havoc upon the Old Kingdom and the rest of the world.

Summary: Couldn't Put it Down!
Review: This might be the only time I can say this, but I read the book through 3 times before I finally put it down. I read it through breakfast, lunch, dinner and finally got so tired at 1:00 am I had to sleep.All the perils Sabriel faces makes me feel like my own life is much easier. She gets chased by undead beings, wades into the many depths of Hell, feels the broken energy of Charter stones, but still manages to keep her cool. Nix's rhythmic writing is powerful and spellbinding. He uses such capturing words that you are sucked into the world. This was my favorite book until I read Shade's Children (Garth Nix's other sci-fi/fantasy thriller). No matter how many times I read it, Sabriel still gives me prickly (yes, prickly)skin.

Summary: Slow Start...but...
Review: I admit it kinda started out slow...but it ended with a bang! The book was perfect! I love the characters and the world that Garth Nix has created in Sabriel, it's sequel: Lirael, and the upcoming book Abhorsen. I can think of one word that explains Garth Nix ideas...perfect.

Summary: THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Sariel is the best book I have ever read. It has and will be my all time favorite book. I could read it a million times and never get tired. Nix is a master of writing and keeps yoou hanging on the edge. I was hooked the moment I opened the cover. Have a great time reading it (trust me, you will want to)!

Summary: Not just for kids...
Review: If you're put off by the "fact" that this book is written for "children and young adults" - don't be. I'm looking at a 1977 edition of "A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula K LeGuin, which is, according to the publisher "for readers of eleven or older". Garth Nix is a good writer whose books are accessible by children as well as by adults - this is something to be applauded. Sabriel is an original classic and I'm looking forward to the sequels. Check out Shade's Children for an equally-spooky but different premise entirely...

Summary: A Great Book, But Some Content a Priest Would NOT Okay
Review: This is a great book, but there's some parts a priest just wouldn't say "yes" to, namely the view of death and all the magic. Sabriel is an eighteen year young girl who is able to walk in Death, which is in the form of a river with nine gates you must pass through to reach the Great Beyond. She uses "Charter Magic" quite often, which is apparently the magic that binds her world together and prevents chaos. Other than that, the book is a must-read. Sabriel, after receiving a Dead messenger from her dead father, Abhorsen (there IS a reason that I capitalized "dead" and "Abhorsen"), goes on a quest to find her father and bring him back from Death. She gets through much peril to reach Abhorsen's House, where she hooks up with a Free Magic servant named Mogget, who is in the form of a cat. On the rest of her journey, she hooks up with a long-lost prince named Touchstone (so named by the sarcastic Mogget). She ends up, along with Touchstone and Mogget, having to defend her country from an evil Greater Dead named Kerrigor (that's Rogirek backwards with a variation; it's a long story). Will she succeed?Read the book and find out. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy/adventure/suspense combinations, or just anyone who loves to read (or can!).

Summary: A Surpassingly Good Fantasy
Review: Like many of the other reviewers of this book, I too feel as though I've read nearly everything worth reading in modern fantasy, and I insist that this is one of the very best. Several years ago, I borrowed it from a friend and devoured it. Since then I haven't run into it in any bookstores, which has surprised me. The characters are very well drawn, the world is atmospheric, and the logic of the universe is extremely tight and interesting. Furthermore, the prose is good! I recommend this book extremely highly to anyone. It is so good that it does not deserve to be regarded only as genre fiction.
