I very much enjoyed this book. I feel that Sabriel is a great example of a strong female heroine, who is a strong lead, but not too perfect, which is something that I value. The writing was descriptive and beautiful, without being too dense. Nix uses metaphor and symbolism elegantly without getting bogged down and losing the flow. And if you're an audiobook fan, Tim Curry's rendition of the series is absolutely fantastic.
