Awesome book loved it!
it was an excellent read from start to finish. although there could have been another book on sabriel and the romance between her and touchstone also the aftermath of the huge battle and what happened to the students and teachers at wyverly college. it was still an excellent book. it had me hooked from the first page and i couldn't put it down.

Very well done
Sabriel is definitely a masterpiece. I have read this book probably 9 times now. No kidding! I first picked the book up in 2001 when I was in high school. I can honestly say that this was the first book I actually "read" straight through without hardly putting down. The character development is very well done. Specifically with Sabriel coming into her own as The Abhorsen. Mogget, the cat, is a very funny comic relief, where as, Touchstone the sworn sword for her, is the strong silent type. All three characters blend together to make a wonderful fantasy novel. It's full of action adventure, suspense, comedy little romance. Everything a good novel should be. I would suggest to anyone who is a fantasy fan, read this book and the entire series.

Finally!
Finally! Something that I could get hooked on again! I haven't been this excited about a book, or book series, since last year and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. Contrary to a few others, I personally think that the beginning moved quickly, but gave the background details through the book. It was wonderfully written and the characters developed, even if not as much as I've seen. Can't wait to read the next ones! Plus the love! Oh the love!

Simply Could Not Stop
I came across this book when I was looking for things to read on Vacation. So, I got bunch of excerpts on the EBOOK library and this book, after that small little thing I just could NOT put this book down! I had to read more! It's captivating, sweet, and adventurous. Definitely not a story line I expected, but it was so good. Sabriel is such an interesting character, I was intrigued to the very end. I can't wait to read the next book.

Read it!! :)
I read this book a few years ago and just absolutely fell in love. I can't admit much more than that because it's been too long since I've read it to remember it in detail. I do remember the story line being unique and intriguing, and I really admired Sabriel's character. I misplaced the book during 1 of my many moves, so I actually ordered it through Barnes and Noble so I can read it again. I am so excited. :)

Memorably Unique
So good. This book has a pulchritude not often seen in it's genre. Memorable characters, well developed characters andunique systems of magic are just some qualities of this work of art. It has the ability to rival some of the classics such as THE LORD OF THE RINGS & THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA.

Addictive!
While the beginning of this book is a bit hard to grasp what is going on it becomes addictive fast and book 2 and 3 are just as good edge of my seat good. Be open to it once the confusion is gone its replaced by awe. Garth nix is a genius

Astounding
One of the best books that i have ever read hands down. The trilogy concludes with abhorsen which is on its own amazing. At first i didnt know who Garth Nix was but once i read this series it put him on the map for liturature in my brain!!!!!!!!!

If you love fantasy at its purest.
The first book in the Abhorsen trilogy is phenomenal. Nix has the uncanny ability to create entirely new realms of magic without missing a beat. You will not find any of the familair Tolkeinish themes here. MY all time favorite universe to visit.

READ IT!! AS IN NOW!!
This book simply knocked my socks off! Literaly and metaphoricaly! It's amazing! Garth Nix packs a punch in the form of Sabriel! It's got adventure, it's got scary stuff, its got humor after Sabriel is joined by Mogget! It's good for anyone who loves a good adventure, action, fantasy, or creepy story! SO YOU NEED TO STOP READING REVIEWS AND BUY IT!! AS IN NOW!! BE GONE!!!

Awesome
Finally something that is not totally predictable. I love fantasy, and how this was not just unexplained magic. It has a method.
