Publisher Description
Before she went to join Sam and Mogget downstairs, Lirael paused for a moment to look at herself in the tall silver mirror that hung on the wall of her room. The image that faced her bore little resemblance to the Second Assistant Librarian of the Clayr. She saw a warlike and grim young woman, dark hair bound back with a silver cord rather than hanging free to disguise her face. She no longer wore her librarian's waistcoat, and she had a long Nehima at her side rather than a library-issue dagger. but she had kept her library whistle, tucking it into the small pouch at her belt. Though she was many, many leagues from any help the whistle might summon, she felt the need to cling to some small part of her past and her identity. She had become an Abhorsen, Lirael thought, at least on the outside.

"I loved these books. This one had me resding at lightning speed to find out what happened to the characters! I especially loved the dog and cat and must admit to nearly shedding a tear at the end! Highly recommended if you like fantasy which is not too hard-going."

" It was so great and so sad and I loved every second of it. If given the choice I would have the book purged from my memory just so I could read it again for the first time. "
— Daniel, 2/13/2014 -
" Abhorsen brought back a lot of the lot of the magic that was missing in Lirael. A great ending to a great series! "
— Chesley, 2/6/2014 -
" I loved this series! The books were so fun and entertaining! I can't wait for his next book to come out. "
— Aliesha, 1/20/2014 -
" Really enjoyed this one. A nice conclusion to the trilogy. I already miss the characters and the world. "
— Shelly, 1/18/2014 -
" These are great books if you like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. To me they are a mix between both of them. A lot of similarities to things in Harry Potter, but written before that phenomenon. "
— Amz, 1/4/2014 -
" Good series with strong female lead. "
— Roberta, 12/23/2013 -
" I couldn't have been happier with the conclusion to such a truly amazing trilogy. If there were more, I would read them in a heartbeat! "
— Lea, 12/22/2013 -
" This book is Great! It's full of action, and suspense! You guys should read it! (READ SABRIEL, THEN LARIEL BEFORE READING THIS BOOK!!!) "
— Colton, 12/19/2013 -
" Excellent finale that ratcheted up the stakes nicely and had an exciting climax. Very satisfied with this series. "
— John, 12/7/2013 -
" Sad to see this series over. One of my all time favorite book series. "
— Tina, 12/6/2013 -
" I really just love all of these books, but Sabriel remains my favorite. Garth Nix has an eerie way of pulling you into a world that doesn't exist - a fact that you will debate when you're reading the series. "
— Siera, 11/29/2013 -
" It was fun to read and wrapped up lose ends without going into detail about what comes next. It was a good ending. "
— Shandra, 11/21/2013 -
" I loved this whole trilogy--great fanstay with a unique idea. "
— Trent, 8/24/2013 -
" Abhorsen seemed to hold my interest better than the first 2, although there were still some slow spots. Overall, I'm glad I decided to finish the series. But I'm also somewhat glad that I'm finished with it. "
— Jesusfreke, 6/7/2013 -
" My favorite of the series!!!! Was both happy and sad with the ending!!!! "
— Patrick, 3/14/2013 -
" The best of the series! "
— Wendy, 1/4/2013 -
" I loved this series but the end is left me wanting another book ! "
— Leeanne, 7/30/2012 -
" This book was wonderful. I loved it. The final installment of the trilogy. It was a great series and I'll probably read all three again in the future. Such a cool world and interesting characters. I love it. "
— Kristin, 6/14/2012 -
" love the trilogy...but none were as good as the first. "
— Elisabeth, 4/8/2012 -
" A great end to one of my favorite fantasy series. Now we wait and see what the book discussion group thinks of it...! "
— Brandy, 3/13/2012 -
" "Her old life seemed so far away now. Gone forever, and she did not yet know what her new life would be, or even what she was. She felt uncomfortable in her own skin, and it had nothing to do with the melting ice, or the rain and mud" (p. 107). "
— Zigforas, 1/29/2012 -
" What can I say.... Fantastic book. Wonderful series. Recommend it "
— Evelyn, 8/19/2011 -
" Creative book, it opened up a whole new world to me. Fun and action packed =D. "
— Risen, 5/16/2011 -
" This falls loosely into the genre of "steampunk." Death's adopted daughter lives at a Victorian boarding school. I just didn't care about the characters or the writing style. Steam punk is NOT my genre. "
— Clare, 5/12/2011 -
" An old favourite. And whilst my tastes have evolved and the writing is less than perfect, it's still a fantastic idea executed well. "
— Casey, 5/11/2011 -
" LOVED IT! really good, gripping book. impressive new universe. "
— Dhyana, 5/11/2011 -
" I got this one dirt cheap at a book fair. I almost didn't pick it up because I didn't like the cover picture, but I sure glad I did. cuz it's awesome! It's one of the best YA fantasy books and book series I have read. "
— Wendy, 4/28/2011 -
" I really wanted Sabriel to lighten up and talk more about clothes and boys and less about bells jingling out secret messages and weird insane cats trying to kill her. <br/> <br/> "
— Lily, 4/27/2011 -
" One of my favorite books ever! Fantastically written, this book is truly an original story. I have reread this book at least ten times now and it never gets old. <br/> <br/>If you are interested in fantasy books even slightly, you should definitely read this one! "
— Amy, 4/24/2011 -
" I had heard great things about this book, but now, fifty pages in, I still find it difficult to get into the story. It's just not holding my attention. Th writing is excellent and I'm sure the storyline is riveting, it's just not my cup of tea. "
— Amber, 4/23/2011 -
" It was really good, loved, It also grabbed my attention and I pictured the scenes in my head which made it even more exciting, but it's not one of my favorites and I didn't follow some bits of the story though it confused me. "
