![]() ![]() Sabriel’s father takes her across the wall aged four to a boarding school where she grows up away from the dangers of the Old Kingdom. Sabriel is the main character, born in the prologue and rescued from the brink of death by her father the Abhorsen, a necromancer sworn to lay dead things to rest rather than raising them. Sabriel, however, is a children’s book, and I’m sure that tells you what A Song of Ice and Fire has that Sabriel doesn’t! They both have a great wall seperating North from South, they both have magic and dead things beyond that wall that threaten the safety of all, and they both agree that the magic doesn’t stretch as far as the far South of the country. The comparisons between Sabriel and A Song of Ice and Fire are too many to ignore. Like any good fantasy series it has magic, it has dead things and it has a wall. This has been one of my favourite books ever since I first read it. What you can’t see in this image is the little charter marks covering the white bit, because they’re white and shiny and beautiful… ![]()
