| 1 | * Touchstone describing the death of the queen and the two princesses, who he had sworn to protect. [[spoiler: It's worse when you realise that they were his mother and half-sisters.]] |
| 2 | ** Even sadder as Touchstone remembers how the princesses had already been kidnapped and tied to the stones in preparation for the sacrifice. Touchstone remembers seeing [[HopeSpot hope]] in [[spoiler:his sisters']] eyes when they saw his barge arriving moments before their throats were cut. |
| 3 | * The ending of ''Sabriel''. [[spoiler:Her dad who died saving her and Touchstone, Magistrix Greenwood who was killed when Mogget attacked, Colonel Horyse (who saw his own death and regretted never seeing the Old Kingdom proper), countless innocent villagers in Ancelstierre, and loads of soldiers and schoolgirls who died fighting Kerrigor. It gets really sad when you reread ''Sabriel'' after reading the next two books and realise that she had a best friend called Ellimere.]] |
| 4 | ** In ''Abhorsen'' when Sabriel returns to the school and sees the memorial stone, not even needing to read, for she knows every name by heart. One of the names she mentions is someone we met in the first book: [[spoiler: Jacinth, the little girl chasing her bunny]]. |
| 5 | * Mogget gives Lirael the message from [[spoiler:her mother]]. He is remarkably tender about it. |
| 6 | * Lirael loses [[spoiler:her first friend, the Dog]]. |
| 7 | * The deaths of [[spoiler:the Disreputable Dog and Nick]] at the end of ''Abhorsen''. The epilogue helps a little, but still... |
