Sabriel: the perfect fantasy novel series

Personally, I really enjoy reading and this year I have been reading a book called 'Sabriel' by Garth Nix. It is a fantasy book about mages, the underworld, monsters and some truly gory creatures.
Sabriel is the daughter of a mage Abhorsen. Ever since she was a tiny child, she has lived outside the wall of the old kingdom - far away from the uncontrolled power of free magic, and away from the dead who won’t stay dead.
But now her father is missing and Sabriel is called upon to cross back into the other world to find him. Leaving the safety of the school she knows as her home, Sabriel embarks upon a quest fraught with supernatural dangers, with companions she is unsure of - for nothing is as it seems within the boundary of the old kingdom. There she confronts an evil that threatens much more than her life, and comes face to face with her hidden destiny…
If you enjoy the blurb of this book I absolutely recommend giving it a try. It is definitely one of the best books I have read so far this year. What’s more, if you like this book, there are plenty of sequels in the series - this is only the first one! The second book is called Lirael and there are four others after that.
