Garth Nix

Given "Lady Friday" has only just come out in the past few weeks, not until next year, I expect ! Given the guy a chance... We can't all churn out stories at a rate of 22000 words a month...;)

Hehe, true!

I just love these books! Thanks!
 
I've only read the Abhorsen trilogy by him. My favorite of those is Sabriel.
 
I love Lady Friday! It's one of my favourite books now and will be for years to come, I expect...:)
 
[font="century gothic]I've read the Old Kingdom Trilogy and enjoyed it. I've tried to get into Keys To The Kingdom but I'm finding it really difficult to...

I've read the Old Kingdom series and it is one of my favourite fantasy series, my facourite being Sabriel. I have also got Across the Wall which contains the creature in the case which was also excellent.
I have read Mr Monday which was fantastic and have collected up to Lady Friday and will press on with the series when I have finished my Lynda La Plante book :)

I haven't read any of these yet. I should really be supporting this Aussie author having met him before. I liked his Abhorsen trilogy.
 
i really enjoy garth nix as a writer and ive read all of his works soo far except for shades children. i loved the old kingdom series, and ive just picked up the keys to the kingdom which ive only found to be 'good' soo far. however the works by him that i have enjoyed the most, is the seven towers series. if you like nix and are looking for something good, try that, i wish the towers series had gotten a little more attention than the keys.
 
I only got the read the first of the Seven Towers series, and I have to say the same goes for my about the Keys to the Kingdom. The only reason I really want to finish them is because I loved how it was set up to last the week. I think if you only liked the first one and wanted to continue that borrowing from the library might be a good option.
 
the Sabriel triology knocks socks off the rest.
Lirael and Abhosen are my tops - disrepuatble dog - what a charcter.

I really like the Sabriel trilogy. I didn't really get into Keys of the Kingdom, and the library only had a few books of some other series by him, i forget what it was called.
 
I must admit I'd not heard of the author.

Reading through the thread it makes me think I'll go to my library or local bookstore and find an example

Any suggestions which one?
 
If you can, start with Sabriel, then move onto Lirael and then Abhorsen. That's his Old Kingdom Trilogy, and it's brilliant! Quite dark in parts, but a fantastic bit of fantasy.

If you're looking more for his lighter books, then start with the Keys to the Kingdom series and the first book - Mister Monday.

Personally, I'd start with Sabriel.
