Wow. What an adventure.
Sabriel returns to her father's house in the Old Kingdom to face their enemy, Kerrigor.
Along the way she makes friends, must find her father in Death and find her inner strength.
Great book.

Technically DNF with like an hour left but fantasies that detail every minutiae just bore me. I LOVED this series as a tween and I totally get why I did. It was the perfect escapism for me then.

I read somewhere that this book was considered YA, however, I'd say it's more like adult fantasy for its themes and worldbuilding. Highly recommended.
