Hmm...I think there's a problem here. The author goes out of his way to state how indestrucable the Basic ships are (and what a blah name 'basic', couldn't he have come up with something interesting sounding?) but then in the battle...well, no spoilers but let's just say not every ship that went out to battle came back. So how did the ships get damaged? He said the only thing that made any mark was a bronze chisel.

The other day I was flipping through the pages of new books available on NetGalley, passing books I'm not interested in, passing others by authors I've never heard of until I came to a screeching halt when I recognized the name "Garth Nix". Years and years ago I read Sabriel and sequels and loved them. So I decided to give this new book of his a try. At least I know he can write well and that's important to me.
