So how about that Old Kingdom trilogy, hm?

Sabriel, Lirael & Abhorsen by Garth Nix -- I just finished rereading all of them the other day and I really had forgotten how brilliant they were.

I don't have any specific questions, but I would like to hear everyone's opinion on the books, the characters and the plot. :]

My favorite characters are Mogget, the Dog and Sameth. The Bright Shiners felt very familiar and likable to me for who-knows-why, even cruel Astarael at the bottom of the well(but not Orannis so much, you know, being the antagonist). I would have liked to see a similar glimpse to more of them, Ranna and Saraneth especially.

I really enjoyed the scenes in Death - especially Lirael's journey to the Ninth Precinct in the final book.

Brilliant tale, really. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will probably continue to do so.

    I loved these books the first time I read them! It's beena while for me though, so I don't remember much. I really need to re-read them again. Is Mogget the cat? If so he was one of my favorite charaters. I've got to re-read them now!
