#nix polls

Marco, shockingly, made it to the finals! Honestly, I thought he'd lose to Porco back in round 1. Then to Erwin. Then to Jean. But he survived! Unlike how he did in canon. Levi, on the other hand, has been one that I'm sure no one would've thought would lose. I certainly expected him to last at least this long! Yet which one will be our winner? Who will make for a very awkward situation for the tumblr aot sexywoman? Annie herself?

TBR Takedown: Goodreads Week 2b (Nov 14)

Sabriel (Abhorsen #1) by Garth Nix

Sent to a boarding school in Ancelstierre as a young child, Sabriel has had little experience with the random power of Free Magic or the Dead who refuse to stay dead in the Old Kingdom. But during her final semester, her father, the Abhorsen, goes missing, and Sabriel knows she must enter the Old Kingdom to find him. She soon finds companions in Mogget, a cat whose aloof manner barely conceals its malevolent spirit, and Touchstone, a young Charter Mage long imprisoned by magic, now free in body but still trapped by painful memories.

As the three travel deep into the Old Kingdom, threats mount on all sides. And every step brings them closer to a battle that will pit them against the true forces of life and death—and bring Sabriel face-to-face with her own destiny.

Goodreads: 4.17

StoryGraph: 4.12

PRO:

Missed this entirely when growing up! A fantasy classic! Would like to read it!

Have sometimes had better luck with older YA titles

Entire series is available from the library in my preferred format (audiobook)

CON:

Previous interactions with Garth Nix have been mixed: DNF'd Mister Monday, loved the idea of Sir Hereward and Mr Fitz but had issues with the execution.

Don't enjoy YA as much anymore
