The Old Kingdom trilogy is a smashing read.Darker than most fantasy this is a trilogy to really immerse oneself in.Sabriel is at boarding school until her father goes missing and she is forced to return to the land of her birth and assume the role of Abhorsen, guardian of the nine levels of death and warrior against the evil forces that lurk there.With free-magic an untameable peril that daily confronts the stability of the Old Kingdom Sabrielhas her work cut out to develop the necessary skills to survive the onrushing cataclysm.Imagine Harry Potter cast into the wilderness and made to fight Voldemort without the safety and education of Hogwarts and his friends.This is stripped down magical fantasy, spectacularly characterised and awesomely exciting.Garth Nix is what children’s fiction has being crying out for.
