Sabriel

Sabriel • Lirael
by Garth Nix

Wow, quite a series. I love this style so much better than Garth Nix's other series, Keys of the Kingdom.

One day I sat down at the library with his Across the Wall - a collection of short stories that he has jotted down over the years. It was a neat read, almost like meeting the author in person. The 'interactive narrative' was a blast, I was cracking up the whole way and it brought me back to Paris with scenes of the Seine and Three Musketeer-ness. One of my favorite stories was the one about the gardner and the king who kept taking his roses. Interesting how such a powerful feeling can be produced in such a short passage.

Can't wait to read the next one!
