I think Sabriel is a little too balanced. There's nothing that really challenges her. I really like balanced, competent heroines, but narratively, the ones who don't start out that and have to work their way to it tend to work better.
I get the impression that having preconceived notions challenged is part of why everyone is sure I'll love the other books.
