Has anyone else read the Abhorsen trilogy by Garth Nix?

I liked Abhorsen and I was absolutely hooked by Sabriel, but the third book was a little less memorable. I actually can't seem to recall the title ^^;

I was really fascinated by the way that they described the river in the afterlife and the usage of the bells. The world was pretty cool too and I seem to remember being a little spooked by the books at times.

Actually, Abhorsen was the third. Lirael was the second.

Yeah, the world was cool. What I particularly liked (aside from the Charter and the river of Death) was the inscription of the Abhorsen's sword... And the bells.

Ooookay. The corrected list. Liked the first, loved the second, was foggy about the third. I think I should log off now *is going to bed*

I have read it I like it that Touchstone was really two hundred years old and they saved his life by turning him into a figurehead on the front of the ship and I like mogget alot too, though I think I like him better in Sabriel than in Abhorsen

Yup, heart shaped skull would be the website. It's from Serenity Rose, I got the compiled comics and loved 'em ^^
