Absolutely. Dog book equals crying. I was weeping at the end of Garth Nix’s Abhorsen, but then there is this really cool dog…

... the first book in my favorites in this genre, but it really developed into a quality series. Isn't Nix grand? The Abhorsen trilogy was truly original and well-done. I enjoy his children's series, Keys to the Kingdom, very much as well. I also didn't like The Supernaturalist as ...

... and Richard L. Dauenhauer. A pdf document I found on the web. Fascinating stuff. Book 120 Lirael and Book 121 Abhorsen by Garth Nix. These two books follow Nix’s wonderful Sabriel and really secure Nix as a master of fantasy and one of my favorite writers.

I'm fairly certain you're thinking of Garth Nix's books Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen.

... with Dragons, The Raven Ring, Sorcery and Cecelia) is another fun author, and Garth Nix (Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen) is excellent. Really you've got a lot of ground to cover. What in particular do you enjoy about Tamora Pierce and Shannon Hale? Giving that ...

#197: The 3 books in the trilogy are Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen, Terri.

... other series. (Well, maybe tied with the Tales of the Otori books which are popular among the guys at work) Lirael and Abhorsen are my favorites. The three books are now available in one volume. The Keys to the Kingdom books are good but the middle books dragged a little.

I'm really behind with this, aren't I? 88. Abhorsen by Garth Nix It was a great series and I made it last for as long as I could stand it. I am truly impressed with the whole thing. I have a hard time believing anything else he's written could possibly be as good. 89. The Miscellany of ...

... or another. Have you read the Flora Segunda books or the Charlie Bone series, or either of the Garth Nix series (the Abhorsen trilogy or the Keys to the Kingdom series)?

... the ending was perhaps a tad abrupt overall i really liked Sabriel and I will be trying to hunt up a copy of Lirael and Abhorsen to find out what happens afterwards, I seem to remember reading somewhere that the second book is set a number of years later after the end of Sabriel and focuses ...

I see you've read the Garth Nix Abhorsen trilogy, and the Chima books, Angie Sage,and a lot of other fantasy. Have you read Tamora Pierce? Not the Magic Circle books, but the TortallSeries. How about Patricia Wrede and her Dealing with Dragons quartet? Patricia A. McKillip ...

... should be coming out this August. I also recommend Garth Nix's Abhorsen trilogy, consisting of Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen. James Dashner's The 13th Reality: The Journal of Curious Letters is a wonderful middle-grade fantasy. I second the recommendations for the Percy Jackson ...

Aaaah, welcome to the sister/brotherhood of Abhorsen appreciators! Another one hits the books. Happiness is achieved.

Oops, deleted because of a double-post.

I like them, but with the child part of my personality, while the adult in me appreciates the Abhorsen Trilogy. They are a good quality children's series, like Charley Bone and Artemis Fowl, with a Through the Looking Glass feel to them. I refuse to buy them in hardback so am waiting for ...

>164 koalamom - If you liked the Abhorsen trilogy, I'd definitely recommend picking up Nix's Across the Wall. It's a short story collection, but the first is more of a novella featuring Nicholas Sayre. The rest of the stories are good reads, as well.

Just finished Abhorsen. Can't understand how I hadn't read it until now when the paperback came out in 2003 and I had read and enjoyed the first two parts Sabriel and Lirael. It was a wonderful and compelling conclusion to this trilogy. I also managed another chapter in The Passing of ...

... it. i read it because it was a square on my library's BINGO game and I needed it to finish a line. Now I can finish Abhorsen and get back to Passing of the Armies.

... Can't keep up with that and still try and get books off my own shelves. I am alternating between Essential Rumi and Abhorsen and hope to get back to Passing of the Armies next week. I only have 8 more on my 50 Challenge to go and then I start a 100 plus the 999. Are there any other Ch ...

Just bought myself a new trilogy yesterday! The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix. Just started and am already intrigued!

Started Passing of the Armies and picked up Abhorsen and The Parables of Jesus. This will give at least one title in each of my nine categories of the 999 Challenge. I find I am light on fantasy here at mt house and I have read so much of it over the years - will have to be haunting the ...

I have all read all three books in the series Sabriel, Lirael, and Abhorsen. They were all well-written and many students have enjoyed the series at the library that I work at. Great trio of books!

... Chronicles and Sorcery and Cecelia by Patricia C. Wrede, as well as The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Boy Meets Boy and the Abhorsen trilogy. I'll add the Bloody Jack books by L. A. Meyer, Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson, the Blossom Culp books by Richard Peck, ...

The Abhorsen Trilogy--yes. Very original, although fairly dark. Eragon Trilogy--no. Very derivative, not that well written, at least through the first two books. Written by a teenager and you can tell, although teens seem to like it. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell--long, very slow in some ...

Sucks about not being able to get these from a library... Um...I'd go with anything by Garth Nix. I preferred the Abhorsen series over Mister Monday and such, but those are good books too. Another GREAT author is Tamora Pierce for Young Adult fantasy. I'm actually surprised no one ...

... funny on the shelf but I guess that's ok haha! Narnia, Temeraire, Dark Reflections, Gentleman Bastard, Earthsea, Abhorsen, Bartimaeus, and Sevenwaters! Sometimes I think of rebuying books to make them match, but I really don't do it. =)

The Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix Sabriel Lirael The Abhorsen These are what I would classify as dark fantasy.

>9 The other two books in the series, Lirael and Abhorsen weren't bad, but I thought Sabriel was definitely the best. Other recommendations (mostly my favorites from when I was in middle-school-ish) that haven't been touched yet: - A Wrinkle in Time, A Wind in the Door, and A Swiftly Ti ...

I couldn't get into Abhorsen, so I gave up and started BattleAxe, which is brilliant so far. It's not marketed as YA, but I don't think it's inappropriate at all.

That is a really tough call... I think the Abhorsen Trilogy (Sabriel, Lirael & Abhorsen) would have to be at the top of my list. The world building was really good and I enjoyed the characters, the settings... everything. It has left me wanting more stories set in this world. The Stand ...
