They are lyrical, dark, disturbing, uplifting, scary, and full of hope. I normally dislike anything that leans towards horror, but these don't work like that, even though they deal so heavily with the dead.<BR/><BR/>Garth Nix has a way with the English tongue, and I heard it best in Lirael, read on an audio version by Tim Curry. His reading, in particular, of Mogget and the Disreputable Dog is amazing - perfectly feline and canine.Steve Emeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628329561652344403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212465766317764317.post-84148303245507022142008-01-26T11:57:00.000-05:002008-01-26T11:57:00.000-05:00I found you at Semicolon.

A friend sent me this trilogy and said the first one was OK, that the second one would have me hooked, and that the third resolved things well, and I found that to be true. I was also floored by the prologue, but went on and found how it made sense in the bigger picture. I look forward to the new books in the series.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212465766317764317.post-23946014487707962442008-01-24T12:58:00.000-05:002008-01-24T12:58:00.000-05:00Two more in the series would be wonderful.

I re-read the first two books and then started Abhorsen for the second time - I got absolutely stuck at the end of the prologue, I was actually too upset to go on! Isn't that bizarre - I'd already read it once. Must go back and finish it though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212465766317764317.post-37333129752302328712008-01-21T14:56:00.000-05:002008-01-21T14:56:00.000-05:00You can't go wrong with Garth Nix.
