Garth Nix

Garth Nix — 10 titles in the rankings, first published between 1995 and 2010. They average 8.0, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. 3 of the series have a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note Start with Sabriel, the first Old Kingdom book: a young necromancer who lays the dead to rest with a set of bells must cross into a kingdom where the dead are rising. It is his most read book, and Lirael and Abhorsen, which form one story after it, rate even higher. The Keys to the Kingdom, from Mister Monday, is lighter fare for younger readers.
