Perfection.
This. This book. This series was the most important literary find in my life this year. I cannot express now much I love this series, like my favourite series of all time, on par with my love for Harry Potter. I love everything about it: the characters (necromancers, magicians, zombie-fighting, vulnerable and flawed young women and men), the world (well two-worlds), the villains, the magical entity in the form of a sarcastic cat, the giant and dangerous Library of the Clayr. Everything. Also the audiobooks are narrated by TIM CURRY. TIM. CURRY. And he is just the best. So good. Just go read it. Right now.
A really fun & quick YA fiction read. Great pacing that keeps you interested the entire time & I'm excited to read books 2 & 3 of the series.

"Death and what came after death was no great mystery to Sabriel. She just wished it was." (Sabriel)
WHAT I LOVE...
★ Fantasy. I don't know when last I read an intense fantasy, like Sabriel. The nostalgia is real!
★ Sabriel, because she is so damn awesome!
★ Mogget. His cynical nature and sarcasm made my life.
★ Touchstone.
★ That the romance is subtle and just happens. It doesn't feel forced.
★ The world building. Seriously amazing!
★ The magic system.
★ The uniqueness of the Abhorsen
WHAT I DISLIKE...
★ Garth Nix's writing style. It makes things difficult to visualise.
★ Sabriel is easy to put down.
★ The pacing. The book starts off being intriguing, drags towards the middle and has an action-packed ending!
Sabriel is an awesome and unique fantasy with a strong main female character that's easy to root for, just beware of the writing style and pacing.
