I read Sabriel as a teen and it quickly became - and remains - one of my favorite fantasy novels of all time. I love the setting, the magic system, the characters, the story - everything just works. Then I read the sequels...and I was disappointed, over and over again. And honestly - Clariel is the most disappointing of the lot. The writing is awkward and the Clariel is a cardboard cutout with no personality. I'm just going to pretend that Sabriel is a standalone novel, and I recommend you do as well. More is not always better.
