This week, I read Sabriel by Garth Nix, this book was really cool and engaging. Sabriel's father is a necromancer, the Abhorsen. Like the rest of his line, he is dedicated to fighting living dead, returning them through the gates of death. Sabriel has grown up in a boarding school, far away from the living dead and the responsibilities of her line. But when her father goes missing, trapped in the world of the dead, she has no choice but to go looking for him. This book was awesome, it was written in an intelligent voice and the characters were all twisted, likable and dark. I really liked the combination of fantasy and modern ideas, how two worlds could be combined into one. One of magic and one of technology. My favorite part though was the storyline; because of its originality, it was engrossing and somewhat confusing, which added to the plot. I would recommend this book to anyone fond of His Dark Materials and Eragon.
