2022 book 93

 Garth Nix's Sabriel

Still in the mood to read fantasy series for escapism, I figured I’d give this one a go (I have read this first one before, but years ago, and didn’t remember anything about it). Anyway, it’s about a girl whose father is the Abhorsen, a necromancer who makes sure the dead stay where they belong—except he’s gone missing. This book is kind of slow to start and I wished Sabriel had more of an interior life, but there is a mysterious cat with powers, cool lore and worldbuilding, etc. I mean it’s all kind of creepy with undead monsters and all, but I’ll give the next one a shot. B+.
