It's been maybe eight years since I last read this and I still love it as much as I did then. And not even in an oh-my-i'm-swimming-in-a-sea-of-nostalgia way.

Okay, yeah, that too.

Sabriel is still as wonderful as I remembered. The magical system is still one of the best I've come across. Mogget is still as snarky and sassy as ever and this is only Book #1.

Between the Abhorsen Chronicles and Keys to the Kingdom, Garth Nix just wins all the awards for his world-building.
