The Abhorsen Trilogy

Australian Author Garth Nix writes a trilogy of charter magic, necromancy, the power of life and death and the thin line that seperates both.

Fantastic series, great for adolescent and young adult readers.

Fast paced
This is a very fast paced novel. I have only finished the first book in the trilogy but have found this to be an enjoyable fast read. I look forward to the next two books. The world Nix creates is different from any other. If you like fantasy or video games even, I believe you will like this series. I felt a bit like I was playing a video game with all the magic gadgets, spells, characters and secret places.

Familiar yet never cliche
Nix's world is always familiar enough enough to be comfortable but always different enough to feel completely fresh. His style leaves a hint of mystery to his characters and world that carries through the entire trilogy. I bought it becuase a friend told me that it has the most satisfying ending to a trilogy that she'd ever read, and it didn't disappoint.

The only point I disagreed with her on is that Mogget is cooler than the Disreputable Dog. Not by much, but enough.
