COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Wonderful, complex, book submitted by OKH34 on July 7, 2011, 11:05am Out of the keys to the kingdom books, the later ones get mre and more complex. This book, being the secod to last, contains that complexity (although admittedly Sunday is the best). Some of the earlier book are a little linnear, but this one contains a number of demneses, and has Many different aspects to it. the house is engulfed in Nothing from below, the lower demneses cry for help, whilst Arthur has to wrest the key from saturday, and his home town is riddled with difficultys, spawning from interference form the house.
Satirday is probably my second favorite out of the series. Anyone who hasn't should read all of the books.

Spectacular submitted by porglezomp on July 9, 2011, 12:02am I will decide mostly not to cover plot points, (see below review for analysis and spoilers) and instead cover the setting, of which is probably the most spectacular of the whole series. Taking place in the vast, umbrella-filled tower you see on the cover, this book traverses the Upper House. Garth Nix is a master of describing his scenes in detail, enough that you can laugh at the poor sorcerer playing board games with the prisoner (who is dangling a mile in the air by a chain) This book is also interesting, in that it is the turning point in Arthur's Powers. A wonderfully described book.

great cliffhanger submitted by ersmith.maps on July 22, 2012, 6:40pm I liked this book, although the first two were my favorite. What really got me was the cliffhanger at the end that made me eager to get my hands on the next book to find out what was going to happen.

Great! submitted by Memoria1224 on June 20, 2013, 5:55pm This is a great book. It was very detailed and I felt like I was actually there.
