As to what I am, I was once many things, but now I am only several. Either way, I'm glad that I started because I was hooked by the writing style from the beginning. Maybe it's because I've been living under a rock, but by coincidence, I had not seen any posts or commentaries about it here before I start reading it. This was my first book by Garth Nix and I was not expecting to like his writing so much. Sabriel is the best fantasy novel I read in more than a year. All woven by beautiful charming language which gives the whole novel the feeling of a fairy tale, or of a waking dream being imagined just before the all-consuming sleep. Talking cat, magic bells, abandoned castles, a journey into an old kingdom, the eerie feeling of impending darkness. ![]()
