Whatever it means, it was a really cool way to start the story and gripped my interest immediately.Ģ. I also think that her resurrection may be the key to her own powers or provide her with extra insight into the world of the dead. I assume this book will heavily center death and/or necromancy at the heart of its story since it seems her father is a necromancer of some sort.
I’m honestly not sure what this foretells. What do you think this foretells for the rest of the book going forward? Our main character comes into this world dead, but her father immediately brings her back to life. Here are my thoughts on this week’s discussion questions:ġ. With Sabriel, the first installment in the Abhorsen series, Garth Nix exploded onto the fantasy scene as a rising star, in a novel that takes readers to a world where the line between the living and the dead isn’t always clear-and sometimes disappears altogether.
But during her final semester, her father, the Abhorsen, goes missing, and Sabriel knows she must enter the Old Kingdom to find him. Sent to a boarding school in Ancelstierre as a young child, Sabriel has had little experience with the random power of Free Magic or the Dead who refuse to stay dead in the Old Kingdom.
