Sabriel by Garth Nix

I am on page 87 and have decided to put Garth Nix's Sabriel down. : (

Regan recommended this book to me years ago, but it was only recently that I borrowed it from a friend. Several of my friends and my brother really enjoyed it. I imagine what is making it so slow is that Nix is world building (and it is an interesting world indeed), but it is too sluggish for me.

During her last year at school, the eponymous character receives word that her father is dead and sets out to find him. Sabriel and her father are necromancer. Necromancers in this world however, don't raise the dead, but put them to rest.

I wish I liked this book. : ( When there are so many other interesting books to read don't bother with this one.
