Has anybody else read these?

I see Harry Potter mentioned, Artemis Fowl, Sabriel stuff... I read these around the same time as I read those and always associated them with them. And the His Dark Materials! So do most of the people living in my area...

...Yet I can't recall ever seeing them mentioned on a forum!

I don't have a favourite out of the three. The first was gripping, and I loved the introduction to the third. And flying. Aah... Brilliant fantasy! :)

I made a costume for Kestrel, when she's on the sand ships. I'll try and find a photo of it.
