The first installment in Garth Nix’s Young Adult Abhorsen Trilogy is a morbid affair. This is a trilogy that not only explores typical YA issues like first romances and coming of age, but it also explores less typical issues like death. By exploring death, I mean there is a lot of it in this book. Undead and suffering souls are everywhere and the story comes with all the powerful emotions that surround it. The way the subject matter is treated in the plot and how it affects all the characters make this one of the more emotionally intense YA fantasy’s you can read.
