Milla and Tal's relationship and coming to terms with each other, despite being from different worlds, is very gratifying. Their ability to ice skate into dreams is cool. The Crones are awesome, and I wish we had more insight into their abilities and their role. It was good to see Tal's mother take on an active role in the last book. I don't feel like going into each individual book in detail, but here are some sort of assorted thoughts on these last three books as a whole: I would put it overall in a 3.5 to 4 star range. Overall, I did like the series, but it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Honestly, these books read so much better when combined together into one larger volume. He now lives in Sydney with his wife, two sons and lots of books. In January 2002 Garth went back to dedicated writer again, despite his belief that full-time writing explains the strange behaviour of many authors. He did that for a year before joining Curtis Brown Australia as a part-time literary agent in 1999. Garth left publishing to work as a public relations and marketing consultant from 1994-1997, till he became a full-time writer in 1998.
Along the way he was also a part-time soldier in the Australian Army Reserve, serving in an Assault Pioneer platoon for four years. After finishing his degree in 1986 he worked in a bookshop, then as a book publicist, a publisher's sales representative, and editor. Garth left Melbourne at an early age for Canberra (the federal capital) and stayed there till he was nineteen, when he left to drive around the UK in a beat-up Austin with a boot full of books and a Silver-Reed typewriter.ĭespite a wheel literally falling off the Austin, Garth survived to return to Australia and study at the University of Canberra.
Garth Nix was born in 1963 in Melbourne, Australia, to the sound of the Salvation Army band outside playing 'Hail the Conquering Hero Comes' or possibly 'Roll Out the Barrel'.
