I'm on Book 3 of The Seventh Tower series, by Garth Nix. I read his Abhorsen Trilogy and liked it and found books 1-3 of this 5 book (I think) set in a single volume so thought I'd give it a try. I have to rest sometimes as the action gets too scary for me :-) I use to skip paragraphs and pages of books, kind of like not looking when there's scary parts of movies, but a bit hard and stupid to do in a book
