Genre: Fiction—Fantasy

Summary & Review:
18 year old Sabriel has spent her life just outside the magical Old Kingdom, but her Father has done his best to train her in the ways of the Abhorsen, necromancers that return to Death things that never should have come back to Life. When her father goes missing, Sabriel must cross the wall back to the Old Kingdom and save him.
This was a fun fantasy and a fast read. Nix created an interesting world where two civilizations, one magical and one like early Twentieth Century reality, live side by side. Additionally, I loved the way that Nix depicted Death, not the act of dying but of the place or world of Death. I know that is strange to say, but it really was a fascinating take on it.
