Nix builds a fantastic (if broken) world in this first Abhorsen series novel. Readers will be quickly enthralled by Sabriel’s story—a coming of age that happens all too quickly because the fate of all Life depends on it.
The plot lags in some parts and there’s a little too much exposition (esp where the magic and its internal effects are concerned), but still a strong story that shouldn’t be missed by any fan of fantasy.
