Resumen del Editor
Ever since she was a tiny child, Sabriel has lived outside the walls of the Old Kingdom, away from the random power of Free Magic, and away from the Dead who won't stay dead. But now her father, the Mage Abhorsen, is missing, and to find him Sabriel must cross back into that world.
Though her journey begins alone, she soon finds companions: Mogget, whose seemingly harmless feline form hides a powerful and perhaps malevolent spirit; and Touchstone, a young Charter Mage long imprisoned by magic, now free in body but still trapped by painful memories.
With threats on all sides and only each other to trust, the three must travel deep into the Old Kingdom, toward a battle that will pit them against the true forces of life and death, and bring Sabriel face-to-face with her own hidden destiny.
A tale of dark secrets, deep love and dangerous magic, Sabriel introduces Garth Nix as an exceptional new talent.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"It's an epic journey in a world as richly realized as Middle-earth and much darker and bloodier than Harry's trials at Hogwarts...Tim Curry brings authority to the reading, grounding the fantastic elements with nuance of character and depth of emotion. (AudioFile)
"Rich, complex, involving, hard to put down, this first novel...is excellent high fantasy." (Publishers Weekly)
"A page-turner for sure." (Booklist)
Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time
When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

In a world where wizards are relegated to ghettos, it is no surprise to see one murdered in the street. But for Stonne Caris, a young warrior monk who sees the killing and gives chase to the culprit, there is nothing ordinary about seeing a murderer disappear into a black, inky portal. The Archmage sends him in search of Antryg Windrose - a half-mad mage who understands the nature of these passages between dimensions.

On the run from an old romantic interest who won't take no for an answer, Rhapsody literally bumps into a couple of shady characters: half breeds who come to her rescue in the nick of time. Only the rescue turns into an abduction, and Rhapsody soon finds herself dragged along on an epic voyage--one that spans centuries and ranges across a wonder-filled fantasy world.

Nicodemus is a young, gifted wizard with a problem. Magic in his world requires the caster to create spells by writing out the text...but he has always been dyslexic and thus has trouble casting even the simplest of spells. And his misspells could prove dangerous, even deadly, should he make a mistake in an important incantation. Yet he has always felt that he is destined to be something more than a failed wizard.

It is strange enough that Odo and Eleanor have stumbled upon a sword in a dried-up river outside their village. It is even stranger that Odo is able to remove it from where it's buried. And it's remarkably strange when the sword starts to talk. Odo and Eleanor have unearthed Biter, a famous fighter from earlier times. By finding Biter, Odo instantly becomes a knight - a role he is exquisitely unsuited for. Eleanor, however, would make a perfect knight - but she's not the one with the sword.

Historia
It is strange enough that Odo and Eleanor have stumbled upon a sword in a dried-up river outside their village. It is even stranger that Odo is able to remove it from where it's buried. And it's remarkably strange when the sword starts to talk. Odo and Eleanor have unearthed Biter, a famous fighter from earlier times. By finding Biter, Odo instantly becomes a knight - a role he is exquisitely unsuited for. Eleanor, however, would make a perfect knight - but she's not the one with the sword.

I am 62 years old and found myself completely enraptured by the combination of Grath Nix's prose and Tim Curry's narration. I am thrilled to have discovered this series that now ranks #1 on my list of all time favorite fantasy novels.

One of my favorites!
Garth Nix is one of my favorite fantasy novelists. Sabriel begins with a young woman leaving school after she receives a message that her father is in danger. She must travel into the Kingdom, across the Wall, and enter Death to find her father. In this fantastic three-book sequence, Nix creates an extraordinary world, full of magic and horror. Parents, if you are worried about younger readers scaring themselves, there is a scene sequence early on in Sabriel that is one of the scariest I've read. Definitely worth a pre-read if you're concerned. Tim Curry is my favorite audio book reader and he outdoes himself in this sequence!

Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful
Fantastic listen, gets you from the start, and swishs you away. If you like fantasy..this series is a must. This is one of those books that hooks you and even though you just started the first of the series, you want to slow it down and savor every minute of it..Tim Curry's naration no doubt makes this series the hit it is. GET IT, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Eh
This was recommended to me as wonderful. I would say it was good. Its well read and the story is interesting. Its a little predicable and I'd say its a little younger feeling than the average YA book. I'd say more in the 10-13 age range rather the later teens. I will not complete the series.

It's got a colourful setting, vivid characters, a tough, kind, smart heroine, and plenty of twists and turns in the action scenes.
That said, while Curry is a perfectly competent narrator, I just didn't warm to his voice and at times listening felt like a chore.

Like Auditory Velvet
Would you listen to Sabriel again? Why?
I would listen to Sabriel over, and over again! The story is richly woven; a very real heroine facing a fantastical struggle wrought over centuries by a long line of those who have one foot in life and one foot in death. Even beyond truly fabulous storytelling, Tim Curry is the perfect reader for this tale. His voice is like rich, heavy, dark velvet. I just want to roll around in the words as they drip off of his tongue. Even better, he has a great way of altering his voice for different characters - making each distinct - while neither losing his own tone of narration, nor making the characters sound silly and over-exaggerated.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved Mogget, from start to finish. You want to know more about him, you revel in his snark and smarm, all the while resisting the urge to pick him up and snuggle the sass right out of that little white kitty body.
Which character – as performed by Tim Curry – was your favorite?
I think that I most enjoyed Tim Curry's performance of Sabriel. As a character she couldn't be different from him; she's eighteen, a young school girl, drifting somewhere between a fanciful girl and a hardened necromancer. Yet somehow, I grasped her tone in his voice. He didn't try to be overly feminine in his voice, didn't make her sound like a man reading in a parody of a woman's tone. Rather, he softened the hard edges, rounded out his tone, and made me believe in a husky-voiced young woman who ranges from terrified, to giddy, to over-confident, to devastated. It was truly a fantastic performance.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There are several; the most memorable of which was Sabriel's reunion with her father. Although I've read the book before (I own the boxset of the trilogy), I found myself pulling over on the shoulder of the road to wipe at my eyes before I could continue to drive. It was just very beautifully read.
Any additional comments?
Yes! READ THIS BOOK! It's a wonderful dive into the darker side of fantasy. The heroine appeals to a YA demographic, while being real enough (and developing enough) to hook a more mature reader. The darker aspect of fantasy displayed might be a bit much for small children (I first read the book at fourteen and found that I was prepared for it, but someone younger may or may not be. Just be warned, there's lots of necromancy and death), but it will appeal to anyone who likes to look for the light in the darkness. Tim Curry has a perfect voice for the tale, and his narration is spot on, witty, and highly engaging. I recommend this audio book highly -- especially as a first foray into audiobooks.
WARNING: The quality of the story and reader might set a ridiculously high bar for other audiobooks!

Any additional comments?
I've loved Garth Nix for years. When I saw this fabulous coming-of-age story was narrated by Tim Curry, I did a happy dance. I was not disappointed. The story is still awesome and Mr. Curry's performance is phenomenal. Check out Lirael and Abhorsen, too!
