I liked Sabriel when I first read it, and when I look back on it now I think of how much of a set-up it is for the books that follow. In Lirael and Abhorsen, the up-front characters are challenged with things that just seem waaaay beyond their league--mostly because both Lirael and the prince(can't remember his name atm) both have the challenge of getting out from underneath the shadow cast by the people around them; Lirael, because she's a member of the Clayr who lacks the Sight, and the prince because his parents (Sabriel and his daddy) just rock so much harder than he does, as well as not looking quite as cool in comparison to his sisters. I kind of like the short story that Nix wrote in an anthology that's a continuation of the series that features Sameth (I think that's the prince's name?) friend, Nicholas Sayre, and his adventures on the other side of the wall as a result of stuff that happened in the second part of the Abhorsen trilogy (Lirael and Abhorsen).
