A Good Start. I liked Sabriel a lot, but I did feel it could have done with pausing from time to time. Allowing both reader and character to take a breather and reflect on the happenings of the story. Action is great, but you also need to be allowed to absorb what is going on. I felt at times the book was so fast paced that I didn’t pick up on key plot points or explanations. Saying this, I very much enjoyed the book, and will continue on with the series. I may come back and even re-read Sabriel at some-point and see if the hindsight of reading the other books in the series helps with the understanding and enjoyment a second time around.
