Hello, and welcome to the pilot episode of my new series, Writing Myths From a Reader’s Point of View.
Now, for the purposes of this post, I will be using examples from Garth Nix’s book, Sabriel, so there might be minor spoilers. If you haven’t read the book, and you don’t want to even read the slightest bit about it first, this may not be the post for you.
Okay? Let’s dive right in!
