I run many different novel studies on Outschool including the following books which are similar to Sabriel's genre (fantasy) and style of writing: Eragon, The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, Frankenstein, Gothic and Horror Short Stories, and more! I also run a student-choice classic literature novel study where we have covered different fantasy novels. It is also a genre that I really enjoy. Sabriel was a novel that I read when I was in middle school and the entire series became one of my favorites. There are many books in the series, but Sabriel was the first that I read and it was the one that made me fall in love with Nix's Abhorsen world.
