Josh's Review: Sabriel by Garth Nix

The Old Kingdom is overrun and across the Wall. The existence of magic is denied. Sabriel must travel to the Old Kingdom a place that she can't remember and assume a name that is spoken in only whispers and is feared by the dead. ABHORSEN. With her father missing and the Old Kingdom sinking further into disarray, she must come to terms with the past and future that awaits her. In a place where the dead stalk the living and the river of Death is never far away she must fight an evil so old that no one can remember when it came to be. Garth Nix takes the world of magic and turns it upside down and backwards, weaving a story that is totally original.
