Exciting and thought-provoking
These superb novels should not be dismissed as "just fantasy". Readers of any genre will appreciate the fine language and important themes. Death is one of our greatest taboos, and these books go well beyond allegory in their stories of the Abhorsens, who must go in and out of Death repeatedly to fight demons which threaten the living. You will think more about courage, loyalty, correct decision-making, and proper use of power as you read. Strong female characters and exciting, original plots are two more reasons to buy these books and immerse yourself in them right away!
