Terciel and Elinor by Garth NixMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Terciel is the Abhorsen-in-Waiting and is working closely with his
great-aunt Tizanael, the current Abhorsen.
He is currently learning about necromancy to help the Dead rest. When he becomes Abhorsen, his number one job
will be to make sure the Dead do not come back to Life. Elinor has always led a life apart from
others. She does have friends, but they
work for the family and are much older than her. With her mother’s death, she learns many
secrets, including the truth that she is touched by magic. Now she sets out to learn enough magic to
cross the wall and enter the Old Kingdom.
Terciel and Elinor is the sixth book in The Old Kingdom
series. Although it is a prequel to the
other books, this novel should be read after the others have been
completed. Readers will delight in
discovering the backstory of Sabriel’s parents and the magic that brought them
together. Nix took a beloved world and
crafted a wonderful story for fans. This
was a great escape read and I was delighted with the ending.
