Part of the appeal of the trilogy to me is the setting. Over the next books, Lirael and Abhorsen, and another generation in the lives of the characters, the trilogy ramps up to a save-the-earth climax. The trilogy starts out with Sabriel, a pull-an-all-nighter-to-finish intro to the Abhorsen universe, in which Sabriel must find her missing father, who happens to be the current Abhorsen. No shirking your take-down-the-dead responsibility. ![]() This is an inherited position, one from which you cannot escape. An Abhorsen is a person whose duty it is to keep the dead from walking the earth and doing bad things to the living, like eat them. I love them also because they are great stories with fantastic characters. I love them not just because Tim Curry reads them (which is reason enough).
