The story of Sabriel is a great and quite original one. Sabriel is a young girl attending boarding school. Unlike many of the other young girls, Sabriel has an otherworldly talent: she can use magic and travel into the world of the dead. Although many necromancers (people with the ability to travel into death and control the dead) use their talents for their own selfish purposes, Sabriel was taught by her father never to control but to keep them at rest. Sabriel has always been taught the ways of magic and necromancy by her father until one night, he does not come to teach her. As a matter of fact, she is surprised by an unwelcome visitor that gives grave news: her father is trapped. We then follow Sabriel on her journey through an older world where modern technology fails to work, but magic thrives. Will Sabriel be able to save her father using the tools he equipped her with? Read to find out!!
I personally loved this book and have read it several times. Garth Nix has done a wonderful job creating a fresh and interesting story. I highly recommend it to lovers of fantasy!
