Publisher Comments:

Arthur Penhaligon's magical adventures continue as he faces a new grave danger — in the form of an enemy named Grim Tuesday. More amazing fantasy from best-selling author Garth Nix.

Arthur doesn't think he will ever have to return to the strange house that nearly killed him on Monday — the house that contains an entire world. But Tuesday brings new challenges — in the form of an enemy named Grim Tuesday, who threatens the well-being of both Arthur's family and his world. Arthur must retrieve the Second Key from Grim Tuesday in order to save everything — an adventure that will include stealing a Sunship, surviving a very weird work camp, befriending a bearlike spirit, fighting the voidlike Nithlings, and traveling to the scary Far Reaches for the ultimate showdown.

Synopsis:

Arthur Penhaligon's magical adventures continue as he faces a grave new danger in the form of an enemy named Grim Tuesday.

Shoshana, February 19, 2008 (view all comments by Shoshana)
I so like Garth Nix. He creates genuinely interesting worlds and dilemmas and his characters, even when sparingly drawn, variously evoke empathy, interest, fear, admiration, and other emotions. This second installment begins as poor Arthur, exhausted by his Monday encounters, is quickly drawn back into a conflict with (and on) Tuesday. Perhaps the best way to read the series would be one a day for a week, in order that the reader identify even more closely with Arthur's desperation for a little down time. With this second book, the terms of the overall story arc seem to be established, so the reader can focus instead on the quality of Arthur's character. As in the Seventh Tower series, the young male protagonist gropes to understand a strange new world and his significant role in it. Arthur is much less churlish and more open to new experiences than is that series's protagonist Tal; it remains to be seen whether this renders him ultimately less interesting.
