Garth Nix

[Starr Polish]

Please tell me I am not the only one on this board that has discovered Garth Nix and the Abhorsen books...

All right, all right, I suppose I'll try to start a discussion on them. I personally got sucked into them right away when I read the first one, Sabriel. The style it's written is is very slightly reminscent to LOTR, because the world that the story takes place in feels like ti has a deeper history to it than is touched in the books.

There's a few threads around, I think. I vaguely remember posting in them. ...

Aha, here it is:

edit: that's quite oldish though. Hmm, I must've posted in a general fantasy thread about the series. :confused:

I saw a some Nix books in a used bookstore.... Seventh Tower???
Are they any good?

[Carafin]

all I've ever been able to find is Sabriel, are there more in the same series? if so what are they called? and are they as good?

I read the Abhorsen series (Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen) a year ago, and found it fascinating and very readable. I especially like the characters Lirael and Nicholas (and I wish there was another book about them getting together;)). I was a little weirded out by the fantasy though. There's just a little too much Death in these books!
