The Old Kingdom Chronicles: Sabriel, Lirael, Abhorsen | Garth Nix

Thank you @BookmarkTavern for creating this fun play-card.

The Old Kingdom Series by Garth Nix. Love his writing style 🪄✍️📚💝.

Also, while my interests would have one day led me to discover necromancy (I love reading about anything magical and ghostly)...it was in this series by Garth Nix that I first encountered this form of magic 🪄👻💝 in fantasy.

Thank you @debinhawaii for creating this fun play-card and thanks @Deblovestoread for tagging me.

1- Wonderful that U.S.A. was one of the countries involved in the Historic prisoner swap 😢🙏🥲.

2- Caught an episode of Captain Planet this week. Haven't seen this show since elementary age. The foundation of the show's storyline always stayed with me, yet the episode was like brand new. 💍🌎💍🌏💍🌍💍🎬💍. Hopefully I can catch more episodes🤞. 👇

AnnCrystal 3- Learned last night that CBS will premiere the new Matlock with Kathy Bates on Sunday, September. 22, 24. Been waiting for that show!

4- Saw a wild cat today, who watched me with these beautiful gem like eyes and a “trickster's“ glee. Wacky me recalled Mogget from the Old Kingdom books by Garth Nix.

5- Discovered a new song today and fell in love with the lyrics, “I believe in music“ sung by B.J. Thomas written by Mac Davis. 4mo

1. Anne or Rosalind, the middle names of my grandmothers.

2. Love all of the names of the characters in this whole book series. Sabriel, Lirael, I just love that -el sound at the end of the names.

Lirael | Garth Nix

ebook ISBN 9781741769562

Where Sabriel came from Ancelstierre to the Old Kingdom and travelled all over on her adventure, so far Lirael has only been in the Clayr's Glacier. Mind you, she's only 14.and I'm only up to part 2, ch 14.
I notice that in Sabriel, we never learned the (old) Abhorsen's real name, nor Touchstone's.

humouress Ancelstierre seems very much like the English countryside of PG Wodehouse's time - despite Nix being Australian. But cricket is played in all 3 countries. (edited) 8mo

humouress Told in 3rd person from Lirael‘s POV and also Prince Sameth‘s (Sabriel‘s son) 8mo

Sabriel | Garth Nix

Two weeks of #bookreport but not much to show. I'm making steady progress on audio, but reading with my eyes has been slow going. That's ok.

My #weeklyforecast is more just a bunch of possibilities. Who knows what I'll actually get to.

Across the Wall | Garth Nix

Hahahahaha - at me from 5 years ago being like “gonna read this soon” THE OPTIMISM! I am still totally planning on reading this soon!

I also miss this fence from the clothes line courtyard of my old apartment building. It was just aesthetically pleasing!

ravenlee “Soon” is such a relative term… 10mo

thegirlwiththelibrarybag @ravenlee 🤣😂 - you are so right! 10mo

Most of the book is set in the Old Kingdom, with medieval-type magic, but parts take place over the Wall in Ancelstierre, which seems to have WWII era technology (cars, b&w films, tanks, guns, planes).

Epic. Battle. Ending. This book more than makes up for its predecessor with the cliffhanger ending. Nix delivers another masterful novel, continuing the fascinating world-building that he began in “Sabriel”. 1000 ⭐️ out of 10.
