Is Garth Nix purely a teenage author? I read his abhorsen series and felt it was a strong story with depth, but his more recent work has been lacking and really not at the same level. Has he announced plans for further books?

What order are Garth Nix's books in?

I don't know if he is writing any new one but that would be awesome. Thats if they are the same caliber as Abhorsen series.

I read his Mister Monday series to my class and although they were aimed at teenagers, I did really enjoy them as well. They're good stories.

I think that his books are far more complex than he gets credit for. His Keys to the Kingdom series had some very dark themes and as an older reader I think I appreciated it more. Also, I would never describe Shade's Children as a children's novel.

Oh and for anyone who hasn't tried them his Tower series is absolutely magical.

I really like everything he's done. Keys to the Kingdom got really disturbing at times and Shade's Children was pretty horrific on both a visceral and on a philosophical level. I've never really thought his work lacked depth.
