You will never know the depth of my love for the Abhorsen trilogy. Or more precisely, the first and second book. More precisely, the world around them. Oh my God, I et shivers thinking about it. Now, there's a place I'd like to roleplay in. I mean, really love the world in Mizahar- it's complexity and it's originality, but the Old Kingdom series is the first to actually made me want to live in a life that is not quite my own. That's not to say I'm a realist- I'm not, far from it. But, it made me just want to be part of it. Of all it's thrills, it's danger, it's beauty. Damn, son. Shivers.
Garth Nix just excelled in the first book. With flying colors. All the right things was there for the characters- a strong female protragonist that made you want to stand up a little straighter, a male character that made you want to squeal, a mysterious animal of unknown origins.... wonderful. And the world! Oh my God, it just fascinated me to no end. I loved it. So. Much. Why isn't there any decent Old Kingdom rp that lets me express this love? WHY?
The second book wasn't bad, enjoyable. Third book? Not so impressed. Lacked specific details. Some boring paragraphs. Sabriel was kickass though.
I hope my character, Miana, would turn out to be as badass as her.
