Helpful Score: 1

I purchased this book on a whim, not knowing anything about it save for the writing on the back cover, which really didn't say much about the story. For some reason, the publisher didn't categorize it as "Fantasy" tho it most definitely is. And what a good story it is! I think I would have liked a bit more information in the prologue regarding "Charter Magic" - referred to quite often in the story, along with a few other confusing things. However, that said, I had a hard time putting the book down. In fact, at the time I started reading it, I was already reading three other books! (I do this sometimes, just to take a break from one story or another...) I ended up leaving the other books alone and read Sabriel to it's conclusion.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about magic, heroines & battles against demons and the like. The author, Garth Nix has done a great job on this, his first book published in 1995.
