I picked Sabriel for this one and wasn't disappointed. I went into Sabriel thinking it was your typical YA fantasy, such as the Alanna series and boy was I surprised. However, I think the elements Nix weaves together really work - having a magical world parallel to the regular one, having the mages fight with bells and song instead of traditional magic, and not pacing the story slowly. This book moved QUICKLY - but it really helped advance the story. Some fantasy can ramble on, which I enjoy in most cases, but the quick pace of this story really drew me in.

I finally went and got my library card! I picked up Grave Mercy (in addition to 4 others because they only let me get 5 for my first day :P). I loved the book so much that now I want my own copy, and the rest of the series!
