The Left Hand of Darkness
I’m really glad I read The Left Hand of Darkness. It wasn’t as accessible as I’d (naively) assumed it would be, but it was certainly thought-provoking and resonant.
Abhorsen (Abhorsen Trilogy/Old Kingdom, #3)
Abhorsen is the conclusion of the epic story started in Sabriel. It was one of the best endings I’ve read in a while, resonating with all the things people love about with classic fantasy.
Lirael (Abhorsen Trilogy/Old Kingdom, #2)
Lirael is a great sequel to Sabriel. It had two lovable characters, an intriguing mystery, and (bonus!) another amazing pet.
Sabriel (Abhorsen Trilogy/Old Kingdom, #1)
I can’t believe I hadn’t read this book until now. But I ended up really liking it, and I liked Garth Nix’s unique narrative style!
