 Satisfying Conclusion June 19, 2010

Seventh (and final) book in the Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix. This is an excellent conclusion to a great series - I actually thought it was the best book of the seven.
It is unnecessary to read all of the previous books in order for this book to make sense - it will be enjoyable just the same. Lord Sunday is definately Arthur's toughest competitor as he races to get the last piece of the will.
'Lord Sunday' is suitable for all ages, has well-developed characters that you really care about, and is a well-crafted story. It's a must read book along with 'Godstone' and the 'Red Pyramid'.

Garth Nix must be one of the most imaginative writers around today. His books are always fast paced, enjoyable, laced with a wonderful dry humour that sets off the darker themes and plots perfectly. In the Keys to the Kingdom series, he puts all his talents to good effect for a younger age group than some of his other works. Nevertheless these are not just books to be enjoyed by younger readers. There are wonderful characters who become good friends in the series, and deeper explorations of ideas in a style reminiscent of - but to my mind much better than - Philip Pullman.
As the book reached its climax, it had me turning pages as fast as I could, desperate to find out what would happen next. The last few chapters were a perfect ending to a series that never failed to offer something new at each turn, and left plenty to ponder. As I turned the last page, I closed this book with a sigh, put it down and thought to myself - now *that* was a good story.
Thoroughly recommended - but if you found this page first, note that this series begins with "Mister Monday", and this book is the seventh and last of the series (no prizes for guessing the order of the other books!)
Worth the wait! March 17, 2010

After a few of the middle books in The Keys to the Kingdom series being a bit slow compared to the start, I hoped very much that this one would be a worthy final instalment. The story moves between three main characters, but unlike some books where parts could become dull, the pace never relents.
Although the ending is a little brief I thought it was a great way to finish, with all the most important threads wrapped up nicely. It was cleverly done and I certainly didn't see what happened coming! I think I might reread the series to see if I missed any hints to the ending.
Totally worth the wait! I don't think many will be disappointed. Now Garth Nix has finished these, I wouldn't mind a new book in the Abhorsen series. I suppose I can hope!
A gripping ending to an excellent series March 6, 2010

My son (aged 16 now) has followed this series of books for years. Despite being rather grown up, he still wanted to order the last one. He read it in one sitting and loved it!
Thoroughly recommend this book!

This is the best book in the series, and although I finished it in just 1 day, it is my favourite. What is it on its own? Amazing. What is it as a finish to the series? A truly fantastic, breathtaking masterpiece.
