"A brilliant mix of subtlety and tension, darkness and light. Nix's Old Kingdom is a world as fully realized as Narnia or Cittagazze." -- VOYA

"More than three hundred pages of breathless chases, near escapes, and intense confrontations. Nix's intricately imagined fantasy world is peopled by complex players worthy of both their dramatic backdrops and their moral dilemmas." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Praise for Lirael: "Riveting." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"What makes Lirael a delight is the magic that Nix brings to his story and to his characters." -- Locus

"The action charges along at a gallop-a page turner for sure." -- ALA Booklist (starred review)

"Sabriel is a winner, a fantasy that reads like realism. Here is a world with the same solidity and four dimensional authority as our own, created with invention, clarity, and intelligence. I congratulate Garth Nix. And I look forward to reading his next piece of work." -- Philip Pullman
