| Discussion: Garth Nix Pages: 1 2 I'm type-happy tonight! I'm here to say that the whole concept of the Abhorsen trilogy is my favorite thing, my favorite thing being death! Death is cool, especially in Garth Nix's books, with the Nine Gates and all that. If you couldn't guess, my favorite bell is Astarael. But it'd be cool if Astarael was the smallest, and Ranna the biggest, then Mosrael as the next biggest, then Kibeth, then Dyrim, then Belgaer, then Saraneth, then Astarael as the smallest. So basically they should all be switched around, in my opinion. It'd be very cool if the Weeper, carrying all the cool and dangerous powers was all small and tiny. Anyway, I think it would be cool to be a necromancer. Even if I was a Free Magic necromancer. Yes, it's true, sometimes I do cheer for the bad guys, if they're not stupid ones, like Hedge. I hate him. But that's probably cause I like Sam. Sam's cool. I like how Lirael's a Remembrancer. I like her mirror, though I think it'd be hard to look at a mirror and at Death at the same time. I'd probably suck at being a Remembrancer. I'd probably be a better Necromancer. I've already memorized all the bells, the order they're in, and their powers, so I'd be good at that. The bad thing about Free Magic is that it smells bad. Why can't it smell all perfumey and flowery? Or it could have no smell at all, so it'd be harder to tell if someone was using Free Magic. Speaking of Free Magical creatures, Mogget is the coolest! I like it when he turns into an albino dwarf and catches fish in his boat. In that part he reminds me of Gollum. I like the Disreputable Dog a lot. My friend Abbey got a new dog named Tweek, and somehow Tweek reminds me of the Dog. Maybe cause he so frickin friendly, and smart looking at the same time. OK, so maybe he's not so smart looking, but I can pretend, can't I? Anyway, here's something random: is Garth Nix done with the Seventh Tower trilogy yet? There are supposed to be seven books, aren't there? I've only seen 6 of them. Oh well. I'll read it eventually. Actually, I've only read the first three. They were good, but not nearly as good as the Abhorsen trilogy. Nothing can beat that, except for Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy. Maybe. >>By BlackGoreCrow (currently known as Hannah) I love Garth Nix,of coarse it would be hard not to.Ihave read all of The Seventh Tower books,I love them they were my favorite books untill i read Shade's Children.I could not put it down,I would get home from school and read all day.I felt like i was in the book,I was so sad when I finished Shade's Children,I didnt want it to end.I just started the Old Kingdom trilogy.ihear it is really good.i cant wait to read his other books.also i think he shoud write another S.C. book. P.S. If you dont like Garth Nix youre crazy. >>By goku9702 garth nix is sooooooooooooooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) i got the tape of sabriel out from the library but when i was halfway through i went on a school exchange 2 italy and i asked one of my friends who had bought the book but hadn't got round 2 reading it yet (my friends are like that with books) and i read the whole thing in italy, then i listened 2 the tapes in edinburgh! then i had exams tho, but after a different friend lent me lirael,n i think theyre both gr8! the reason jk rowling has so much fame is not because her books are as good as evry1 says they r compared 2 evry1 elses it s just because of her boo hoo cry baby story that she used 2 b sooooooooooo poor. (not that her books arent good tho, i just think she gets way 2 much credit! and wot kind of books do u read any way anonymous? >>By lost_girl2004 i agree goku9702! >>By lost_girl2004 Garth Nix's books are amazing. I have read almost all his books. They are all origional in plot. I first started to read his books when i started the seventh tower... ( By the way don't just get the first book... you will regret it.) I could not stop reading. The thing is the editors should of put all the books in one big book. The books just ended like each book was ripped out of one big one. But books like the keys to the kingdom could be put together, but if it was all put together... it would be one BIG book. SO ALL OF YOU OUT THERE READ GARTH NIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>By Ethereal_Elf Garth Nix is a great author I stated with the seventh tower series then I read the ragwitch,then Shades Children, then I read the the Old Kingdom trilogy. His books are so good and there original. Once you start reading them you just can't stop. He should so write more old kingdom book they r the best!! Read Garth Nix books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>By Cimorene Garth nix rox my sox. I loive him. He is one of the most brilliant authors. His charachters are so real that I feel like i am part of the story >>By Megano Amazing is Garth Nix. I found his books to be amazing. I try to read every single one of his books. Mostly i've just read the Abhorsen Trilogy. Also can anybody tell me what the adult edition of the book is? Is it really diffrent and what's diffrent about it? >>By Whodad i was in my local library and the cover of Sabrial caught my eye. the charter mark in flames on a white background. sitting next to it was Lireal, with another vivid charter mark ablaze. i decided to get both of them beofre i even knew what they were about. sson after reading sabriel i was on the look for the third book, abhorsen. luckily i found it before i finidhed lireal otherwise i think i may have been frantic considering the cliff hanger! Garth Nix takes you to a place of fantasy that also has a sense of realism. you get intensly attached to the characters that the books are obsesive. my next task is to find these seventh tower books or anything else by Nix. for any of you who havnt read garth nix, seriously you are missing out! >>By dove2snake TO WHODAD!!! the adult version is no different then the normal one but it is called adult because they want to spread the series to adults, so they will be put in the normal fantasy section instead of just the teen section. >>By Megano Garth Nix creates amazingly real worlds and characters. It is just truely amazing. I think everyone should read Garth Nix's books. >>By Cimorene Is there any more Garth Nix books comming out? I am having withdrawl.... >>By Ethereal_Elf I've really enjoyed the world Garth Nix has created. You wouldn't think that the 20th century and mideavel times could ever mix, but Nix has done just that: and it works fantastically for him in his 'Abhorsen' series. These books are supremely written and are a joy to read for anybody. >>By Sven Guess what, all? I wnt on vacation to england recently and I decided that I really likes the covers of the keys to the kingdom books there so I bought mister monday. When I got out of the store I found out that it was sighed! I now have a signed copy of Mister monday! I was so happy I did a cartwheel and all of the brittish looked at me oddly >>By Megano You are not logged in. To access all functionality, you can log in via Flork.
