This is hands down one of my favourite old school fantasy books ever. It has elements of horror, 19th century adventure writing, it expands the world beyond a quasi-European setting, and it, best of all, contains a lot of heart. McKiernan is by far one of my favourite authors.

Amazes me how much like a fantasy novel this reads! Epic fantasy fans owe themselves a Follett experience.

Beautiful, brilliant, expanding the world beyond the realms of its initial Middle Earth like setting, their is an openness to Mithgar that is wonderful. Deserts, different races, colours of skin, cultures...and these are the humans, never mind the fantasy races!

Lovely to see.

This is an odd book. I'm racing through it, it's quite addictive. I love the cat companion Mogget, Sabriel is an intriguing lead character, the world feels fully thought out, but I struggle to mentally picture what is being described. Still, this is hard to put down. The audiobook read by Tim Curry is fantastic.

Okay, this book is masterful. It's not quite up there with the greatest books I've ever read (I still feel, as fantastic as Cahill is, I've read it all before), but it's shockingly close to the highest tier of great, entertaining epic fantasy reads.
