The world of the Keys to the Kingdom continues to get more interesting and weirder all at once. This time around, we have a sort of Multiversal Ocean and the Morrow Day that governs it. It's an interesting world all itself, with ships that were once other things, uplifted rats, and a very Nix'ian version of the Jonah and Whale story. It's neat to finally see one of the Morrow Days that actually wants to help. I'm guessing we won't see much of that with the other half. Also, oh snap that cliff hanger at the end. These really are seven parts of a seven part serialized novel. Nothing wrong with that though. It's an interesting style. I wonder if Nix wrote all seven of them before publishing? One of the stronger entrants in this series finds Arthur attempting to retrieve the 3rd Key from Drowned Wednesday. This seems like it might be fairly easy to do, since Wednesday has sent Arthur an Invitation to meet with her and has indicated to her staff that she wishes to surrender her custodianship. Unfortunately, Arthur is not able to smoothly and immediately meet up with Wednesday, as he ends up marooned in the sea, just barely hanging on to a pirate buoy and his friend Leaf is mistakenly conveyed to the meeting. The pirate adventure and non-House setting in this one were a welcome change. Yessss pirates! The third volume of this series is filled with all kinds of pirates and sailors; some who are rats, some who used to be clerks (which makes them very poor sailors), and some who are just all around villains. For once, the Morrow Day whom Arthur is up against actually helps him by not attacking him, and gives him information instead. It seems that not all of the Morrow Days were happy going against the Will of the Architect, and that Superior Saturday was their ringleader. I think she'll be the one who causes the most trouble for Arthur, but we still can't be sure of Lord Sunday's role in everything. He is the child of the Architect and the Old One (an experiment apparently), but he may have betrayed the Will to start the Morrow Day's revolution and may still be in league with the rest of them. If he really is the offspring of the Architect and the Old One, he may feel justified in his actions, and assume that as their oldest child he should be ruling in their stead, rather than some mortal Heir to the Kingdom like Arthur. After all, that is generally how kingdoms work; parents hand off the reigns to their eldest child, even if said child is slightly insane... keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Everyone is after Arthur Penhaligon including strange pirates, shadowy creatures, and Drowned Wednesday, whose gluttony threatens both her world and Arthur's. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

New twist on the Denizen having it in for Arthur. Love having Leaf involved. The ending was a little abrupt, but it picks up well, if rather differently, in Sir Thursday. ( )
