The first three books of, The Old Kingdom Series.
Original reviewed 2016, updated for Litsy 2024.
My mom bought me these books when I was in high school. The bookstore clerk highly recommended them. For whatever reason, it took me awhile to open and read them. One day, I reached up and pulled Sabriel (part one) off my bookshelf and read the first few pages.
I was hooked.
I read through the first one like a storm, which remains my favorite. 👇
These books are about life and death, mainly about death and the journey through to the afterlife.
This is all about the dead not wanting to let go of life, and about the struggle against an evil of ancient times.
Sabriel and the Disreputable Dog are my favorite characters. . .and of course, who wouldn't like the sassy cat. 👇 7mo
Now that this is a series, I'm thrilled! Three books were simply not enough. Still need to read the latest...I'm a terrible number one fan! 7mo
