A Confusion of Princes by Garth Nix
" Full review at The Intergalactic Academy.

Like a lot of people my age, I dig anime. Girly anime, mostly–Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura. My affinity for odd Japanese children’s series has often left me craving a written equivalent. Manga are grea... "

“Does the walker choose the path or the path choose the walker?”
Garth Nix, Lirael

"That seems rather harsh...”
Garth Nix, Sir Thursday

“Touchstone watched, suddenly conscious that he probably only had five seconds left to be alone with Sabriel, to say something, to say anything. Perhaps the last five seconds they ever would have alone together.

"I love you," he whispered. "I hope you don't mind.”
Garth Nix, Sabriel
