Great fifth installment to the series. Nix has thought out the whole series, and it's delightful to watch old elements rise up, and to see the evolution of some of the characters progressing through each book. Only two more 'Days' to go, and though i have some ideas about how the books might end, it's still very up in the air, and there are many questions yet to be answered. I have no doubt but that Nix will deliver.Eons ago, the Architect of the worlds left, willing her power to whosoever was the Rightful Heir. She left behind seven of her most trusted children behind as Trustees of her Will. But the Trustees did not see any need to relinquish their power, and so they hid the Will away and kept the Keys to the Kingdom for themselves. The Trustees, also known as the Morrow Days because each controlled a single day of the week, were slowly twisted by the Keys, and their foibles and weaknesses became
Arthur has really come into his own in the past two books. He's matured a lot, and I'm glad that he's (hopefully) finally going to stop whining about using the Keys and inching more toward becoming a Denizen.Lady Friday was a bit too watered down--and I think that's because she represented Lust, and that's a hard Sin to tackle in a book aimed at middle schoolers. That said, I did still enjoy the book because of all the other characters. The Dawns, Noons, and Dusks continue to impress me with
I'm finding these books to be less entertaining as they go along. They're all getting 3 stars, but it's gone from 3 nearly a 4 to 3 but darn close to 2 3/4. This one was not as nerve-wracking as the previous one, but the overall sense is one of dread. Arthur is becoming less human as he wields the Keys, and he has to use them to save his friends and family. So, if he saves them, but he can't be with his family, that's really sad. This one has Lady Friday who seems to be drinking the life
The past few books have lost some of the charm :/
A bit of a stall compared to the previous couple volumes, with a bit less action and creativity, but then there is some progression in Arthur's character, as he matures and becomes less whiny. I'm still annoyed that he keeps handing over keys to Dame Primus, but at least now we know he can reclaim them at will. Also, there is some good progress on building up Leaf and Suzy.
