Even though there have been a lot of characters with more than one personality/soul and a lot of new names for known characters, part three was soemhow easier to follow than part 2. I am glad I started Nona even though I didn‘t like Harrow. What I especially liked was the narration of John in form of psalms because it was the perfect transition to our modern world. It is definitely a possible dystopian future for all of us.

I‘m not a big audiobook fan but I loved this! I think it‘s a combination of the fact that I‘ve already read this book a few times and Tim Curry‘s masterful narration. I especially enjoyed his drawling Mogget voice!

Kitta I loved Sabriel when I read it as a kid. Such a good trilogy! 2mo

Clare-Dragonfly @Kitta Yes, I‘ll definitely be continuing the trilogy on audio! I might reread the further books as well, though I‘ve only read them once each so audio probably won‘t be the way to go. 2mo

Abhorsen | Garth Nix

Ch 13:
They waded across, Mogget clinging to Sam‘s shoulder and the Dog swimming in the middle. Unlike most dogs, Lirael noticed, her friend actually stuck her whole head underwater, ears and all. And whatever power fast-moving water had over the Dead and some Free Magic creatures clearly didn‘t apply to the Disreputable Dog.

“How come you like to swim but hate baths?” asked Lirael curiously as they reached dry ground and found a sandy patch between the rocks to set up a makeshift camp.
“Swimming is swimming and the smells stay the same,” said the Dog. “Baths involve soap.” 4mo

humouress Ch 16:
“I understand. It‘s just not that simple...” the Major began. Then he paused, and his red face went blotchy and pale at the temples. Lirael watched his brow furrow up as if a strange thought were trying to break free. Then it cleared. Carefully he put his hand into his pocket, then suddenly withdrew it and punched his newly brass-knuckled fist into the Bakelite exchange board,

its delicate internal mechanisms exploding with a rush of sparks and smoke.
“Damn it! It is that simple! I‘ll order the company to go. After all, the politicos can only shoot me for it later if we win. As for you, Private, if you mention a word of this to anyone, I‘ll feed you to the cat thing here. Understand?”
“Yum,” said Mogget. 4mo

humouress 2nd interlude:
Not that landing in the Old Kingdom would be easy. Touchstone looked at the fabric wing shivering above him and hoped that most of the plane was man-made. For if parts of it were not, they would fall apart too soon, the common fate of Ancelstierran devices and machinery once they were across the Wall.

“I am never flying again,” muttered Touchstone. Then he remembered Ellimere‘s message. If they did manage to land on the other side of the Wall and get to Barhedrin, then they would have to fly somewhere in a Paperwing, to engage in a battle with an unknown Enemy of unknown powers.

Touchstone‘s face set in grim lines at that thought. He would welcome that battle. He and Sabriel had struggled too long against opponents manipulated from afar. Now whatever it was had come out in the open, and it would face the combined forces of the King, the Abhorsen and the Clayr.

Provided, of course, that the King and the Abhorsen managed to survive this flight. 4mo

I was looking forward to meet all of the character in the Locked Tomb series again, but I guess I was waiting for Nona again. She captured my heart the first time I read the book, and now she did it again. She made me laugh, she made me want to hug her, she made me very emotional. That's just Nona. And of course I understood more about what's going on than the first time around. Tamsyn Muir, I'm ready for Alecto now.

Ruthiella Just waiting patiently for Alecto to be published…😬 5mo

Jari-chan @Ruthiella Guess there's nothing else we can do... 🤷 5mo

I feel this in my soul

Balibee146 Ha ha, yes to this. I love Sabriel - very underrated series, especially the original 3 books ❤️ 5mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Balibee146, all the best people know it though! A genre classic. (And from an Australian author so perhaps there was never going to be any escaping from Garth Nix for me) 5mo

AlaMich Love this series! 5mo

Another great read!
However I do wish they wouldn‘t end on such complicated cliff hangers. It wasn‘t so bad when I had the next book to keep going with, but now it‘s a waiting game for book 4 😂

101/150 This was easily my favorite book of the series, so far. This iteration of Harrowhawk was by far the most pleasant and endearing, so sweet and kind. Her fate at the end was heartbreaking 💔. I hope Muir comes out with Alecto The Ninth as soon as possible. 5 🌟 read.
101st book finished for #Readaway2024 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES @Andrew65

BookmarkTavern Right?!? I am so anxious waiting for Alecto! I‘m going to have to do a reread of the first three when it‘s announced! 9mo

1. Anne or Rosalind, the middle names of my grandmothers.

2. Love all of the names of the characters in this whole book series. Sabriel, Lirael, I just love that -el sound at the end of the names.
