I’d been aware of Sabriel since the late 90s and it had always come highly recommended. Not sure why it’s taken me 25+ years to get to it, but I’m glad I finally did. It’s fantastic. I have a couple of minor quibbles, but overall I loved this book from cover to cover. Don’t wait on it like I did, especially if you’re a fantasy reader.
