First in the Abhorsen fantasy series, and...WOW! I absolutely loved this book and found it very difficult to put down. This book has been on my shelf for months if not years. My daughter recommended it to me at least a year ago. Why did I not listen and read it sooner? LOL Sabriel, daughter of The Abhorsen, a powerful necromancer who fights the dead, finishes high school in Anglesierre on the other side of the magical wall and is summoned to her birthplace, The Old Kingdom, by the spirit of her father. She has become the Abhorsen until she can free his spirit from Death...IF indeed she can do so. Under-trained, unknowledgeable about what's been happening in her homeland, she sets out on a journey to save her father and meets some interesting characters and creatures along the way.
