I just finished reading the Garth Nix' Trilogy of Necromancy and General Good Times. (Contained within the volumes of Sabriel, Lirael, and The Abhorsen.) Wonderful series, couldn't put them down. Now usually necromancy and the dark arts are not my cup of tea (Duh!) but this was something I hadn't looked for, a very human heroine (and hero, and more ( Read more... )

But I guess it could be argued both ways. Interestingly enough, I find Heather's and my reactions differ slightly in the face of impending vehicular catastrophe. Heather, very aptly, reaffirms her faith and praises her Maker; while I ineptly grit my teeth and think " Oh (random original expletive), this is going to leave a huge dent!"
