Has anyone else read the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix?
The Forsworn War of 34

I liked Abhorsen and I was absolutely hooked by Sabriel, but the third book was a little less memorable. I actually can't seem to recall the title ^^;

I was really fascinated by the way that they described the river in the afterlife and the usage of the bells. The world was pretty cool too and I seem to remember being a little spooked by the books at times.

Actually, Abhorsen was the third. Lirael was the second.

Yeah, the world was cool. What I particularly liked (aside from the Charter and the river of Death) was the inscription of the Abhorsen's sword... And the bells.

Gah, I'm a space cadet tonight ^^;

Ooookay. The corrected list. Liked the first, loved the second, was foggy about the third. I think I should log off now *is going to bed*

I have read it I like it that Touchstone was really two hundred years old and they saved his life by turning him into a figurehead on the front of the ship and I like mogget alot too, though I think I like him better in Sabriel than in Abhorsen

*briefly careens off topic*

Yup, heart shaped skull would be the website. It's from Serenity Rose, I got the compiled comics and loved 'em ^^

*and back on topic*
