review 1: Garth Nix's The Keys to the Kingdom is a series of seven books each named after a day of the week. They are about a boy named Arthur Penhaligon who over the series goes from being a normal boy to the Rightful Heir to the House. Durring the first day he first enters the house, which the universe is centered around and who's job is to record everything that happes in the universe. He then learns that he is the heir to the Architect of the World and that he has to defeat the seven trustees know as the Morrow Days who have disobeyed the will the the Architect. He has to defeat mister monday to save the denizens and go back home, however this is not the end of his adventure as he is brought back to face Grim Tuesday, Drowned Wednesday, Sir Thursday, Lady Friday, Superior Saturd... moreay, and finally Lord Sunday.
review 2: I think this was a step back in the direction of Seventh Tower, but not in a bad way. Similar themes reappeared but in a fresh way. I love how Nix weaves in symbols and subtle messages taken from a variety of folklore and religion. My favorite out of these might be Grim Tuesday (though Wednesday was also good) simply because it was that then Arthur and Suzy seemed the most dynamic. And seriously, Grim Tuesday and the far reaches were scary. less
