Sabriel was followed by two sequels, Lirael (2001) and Abhorsen (2003). The Abhorsen trilogy began with Sabriel, published in 1995. How could anyone resist a cover so badass and mysterious? Look at that shadow monster!
In fact, judging the book by the cover is how I discovered the author Garth Nix and his Abhorsen trilogy, a series that proved to be one of the literary comfort foods of my middle school years through to the present day. I know it’s said never to judge a book by its cover, but I did that plenty growing up (hell, I still do) and it rarely failed me. Especially if it featured a badass-looking female character. If there was a sword or something magical on the book cover, I wanted it. I’ve had a passion for fantasy since I first started to read-anything from Tamora Pierce to J.K.
