Abhorsen by Garth Nix



I've just completed Garth Nix's zombie filled trilogy with "Abhorsen".

Although the book is supposed to be marketed for older children I certainly didn't really notice as the central theme of death and control of the dead made it quite a dark fantasy book.

This story completes the story in Lirael where Lirael and Sam take on The Destroyer with the help of various pets and willing but ultimately not very helpful military personnel.

Again I enjoyed this a lot. The plot was well constructed and the pace built up to an exciting finale. Bit of a sad ending as well.
