This was a thoroughly enjoyable read. Everything was very fast paced so I got through the book very quickly.

The story is a mystery with adventure, of Newt going to find her family’s stolen emerald. However, the task is made more difficult than it already is because it’s the Regency period and she, as a girl, cannot go out and look for it herself. Therefore, she decides to disguise herself as a boy but that leads to lots of unanticipated trouble.

Along the way, you meet different characters, and each of them is quite strange which makes the story very funny.

There is also a hint of romance, so this story really does have everything all in one.

I definitely recommend this book to readers of all genres, because there’s something in it for everyone.

The series is set in a world where there is magic, but the fact that the main character, Sabriel, is a good necromancer adds a nice twist to it all. The way she casts magic is also very different, as it is cast by sound!

I would definitely recommend this to fans of Harry Potter because, like that series, Sabriel is out to put an end to a great evil and makes some good friends along the way. The adventure, magical world-building, friendships and self discovery are all the elements you’ll find in both Harry Potter and here.

You really want more after you finish the book, and it’s great that we have the book after this in our library too! And we hope to get the rest of the series as well.
