1: Amazing and Addicting
This trilogy is absolutely amazing. Garth Nix is an amazing writer and if I could I would give these novels 6 stars. The novels hold your interest and are told in such a way that you know the history of the mythical countries and magic without meaning to. I love these books and wish they had been part of a larger series. I recommend them to everyone.

2: The Abhorsen Trilogy
Australian Author Garth Nix writes a trilogy of charter magic, necromancy, the power of life and death and the thin line that seperates both.
Fantastic series, great for adolescent and young adult readers.

3: Fast paced
This is a very fast paced novel. I have only finished the first book in the trilogy but have found this to be an enjoyable fast read. I look forward to the next two books. The world Nix creates is different from any other. If you like fantasy or video games even, I believe you will like this series. I felt a bit like I was playing a video game with all the magic gadgets, spells, characters and secret places.

4: Familiar yet never cliche
Nix's world is always familiar enough enough to be comfortable but always different enough to feel completely fresh. His style leaves a hint of mystery to his characters and world that carries through the entire trilogy. I bought it becuase a friend told me that it has the most satisfying ending to a trilogy that she'd ever read, and it didn't disappoint.
The only point I disagreed with her on is that Mogget is cooler than the Disreputable Dog. Not by much, but enough.

5: One Of My Favorite Authors
Garth Nix has always been one of my top favorite authors, and his Abhorsen trilogy is definitely why. These books kept me so enthralled, it was impossible to pull away. They made such an impact, I still remember every scene. I have read these again and again, and I never tire of them.
