I tried to read Sabriel sometime last year with a friend, but the friend was bored by it and I didn't care either way, so we read something else instead. I decided to give Sabriel another chance last week and it wasn't bad. The main story, the magic system, the world, and the characters were all interesting. I especially liked Mogget the cat. Even with all of the good, the book was still kind of meh. Something about the way that the story was presented made the book feel flat. I'm glad that I finished it though. Reread it for the first time in 8 or 10 years because Sam really likes it and (nerdery of nerderies) we're currently playing a D&D campaign based on it. (I'm teenage Chrestomanci, because... um.) Getting back to the book, I was surprised by how little I remembered and how great the atmosphere is. Always liked Lirael the best (must reread it now), and never got past a few chapters of Abhorsen, so that comes next. no reviews | add a review
