This is one of those books I’d been recommended repeatedly and when I saw Tim Curry did the audiobook, I decided to try it.
I really enjoyed it! Not sure how much is due to the amazing Tim Curry, but it was engaging from the start, pretty fast paced, had a unique premise and magic system, and honestly had me choked up at times. And the ending action was really crazy. That being said, I feel like the characterizations were fairly surface level. I liked Sabriel and Touchstone and Mogget, but I wanted to dig deeper into their characters. Maybe we’ll get more in the next books?
Either way, I’m glad I read it!
