I do. It's been a treasured book to me. I also recommend you follow by reading the other 2 books in the trilogy (Lirael and Abhorsen). They're incredible. If you like the Abhorsen trilogy, I also recommend the prequel, Clariel. And there is also a story about one of the minor characters in the trilogy. Honestly, anything Grath Nix is awesome.

I had to read that in high school.

Well, actually it was more like we listened to the audio book in class. I couldn't tell you a thing about that book because I can't remember anything I hear (except for maybe song lyrics).

I'm listening to Mark Lawrence's Grey Sister, which makes me do all sorts of things I don't normally do, like laugh out loud, ship, sit and listen to an audiobook without doing anything else at the same time, and, occasionally, squeal with delight.
