The abhorsen trilogy6/9/2023 It is almost a relief to 'meet' a character with such basic reasons. She loves Touchstone, hates the evil that has invaded the Kingdom, treasures her father, respects Mogget. Yet staunchness does not make the character Sabriel's basic humanity is what lets her reach out and touch you from within her paper world. Sabriel is entirely human- a young woman who has her own goals, her own life, and who manages to uphold her values without ever giving in. All too often the tough girl stance gets taken a little too far. But sometimes you get that feeling that they lack- well- heart. Don't get me wrong- I love books with female heroines. Sadly, these characters all too often have nothing better to do with their time than to wander around playing hero. We've all read stories starring the tough girl, out to kick the world head over tail kind of character.
